Crazy! It’s time for both sides of the aisle to step up and do more to support boys and men. There are bills in both the House and Senate to help right now!… unfortunately, many lawmakers are still afraid to say anything because they think they’ll be labeled “a misogynist.”

For decades, we’ve endured a relentless cultural campaign of blaming and shaming men to “do more” at home. It seems to have worked spectacularly. Yet the public narrative refuses to update. Instead of celebrating this progress, media outlets, academics, and social-media scolds keep hammering the same tired message: dads are lazy, absent, and insufficient. I see articles and memes daily still shaming and blaming men to “step up” while framing women as victims. It’s time to retire the guilt trip.
