Thank you, Mark. Maybe the problem with the Democrats is that the moderate wing is at war with the "progressive" wing. The progressive wing are all in with feminism and the dismissal of men and male issues. The progressive wing seems to be in charge now. Maybe you can make contact with James Carville, who has blasted the Democrats for their dismissal of men. He thinks that the Democrats have lost the male vote forever. The only hope is for the moderate Dems to regain power.

I agree -- there is a split among Democrats between the moderates and progressives, and the progressives (which some call "San Francisco Liberals") are less popular nationally. The ad of Harris talking about transgender prison care was played repeatedly throughout the country. And I like Carville -- one of the few high level Democrats who understands the men's issue, and I quoted him several times in my book.

You truly are fighting the good fight, Mark. I'm sorry about the DNC's lack of interest, but as you've told me before, there truly is a systematic blindspot within the party when it comes to men's issues. But please, keep trying!

Thanks for the encouragement -- I'll keep trying. You never know when the right person at the DNC or among the Democrats comes across my ideas.

Is there a way for the current administration to focus on male issues? I remember Maryland Governor Moore specifically mention helping men during his recent State of the State address.

Yes, Gov. Moore of Maryland did speak about men and boys -- he is a rare and great example. It's encouraging to hear, and now I look forward to seeing if he backs it up with effective, male-supportive policy!
