Like many presidential debates, abortion saw its fair share of attention. Although it’s a topic that draws far more coverage than other health issues, it is not the most pressing health issue of our time. It’s fair to say that pro-life and abortion rights proponents deserve a space in debate, but moderators never even consider discussing the deaths of despair impacting our nation’s sons that warrants —at the least— comparable attention.
Yes, and another topic that affects men's health came up during the past week or so: a proposal of the Democrats to revive military conscription for both men and women. At least two Republicans have denounced the possibility of including women.
This commentary is right on the mark. I noticed the same thing -- this was the most obvious moment where they could have included a question about male well-being. While major takeaways from the debate involve whether Biden should drop out of the race and the lack of veracity in Trump's responses, this was a moment the moderators could have used to focus on some of the problems men are facing.
It is useless to expect media outlets to address anything but current progressive hot-button issues; i.e., women's issues, LGBYQ+ issues, blind support of everything Israeli. Anything concerning straight (white) men, except to bash them, is last on their agendas.
