Biden's State of the Union and The Forgotten American
gibm.substack.com
President Biden’s State of the Union was as much an attempt to persuade the American people that his policies are working as it was an appeal for a second presidential term in 2024. There was an alacrity and politician’s push that seemed like the language of someone gearing up and looking ahead, not two years, but six.
So many countries are having similarly gendered problems when it comes to education. If another country can address that problem before America does, and get their male population as educated as their female population, then they’re going to economically outcompete America in a knowledge economy.
When it comes to police violence and Tyre Nichols, Biden wants to racialize an issue that’s far more gendered than it is racialized. On a per capita basis, Black Americans are 2.5x more likely to be killed by the police. Men are 24x more likely to be killed by the police. Unfortunately, identity politics makes that issue so challenging to accurately talk about. I wrote a few articles digging into the statistics on the topic and the way that identity politics has distorted the way we see it: https://taboo.substack.com/p/police-violence
I have no idea why the democratic party refuses to acknowledge the issues face by males as a group that you have outlined so well here. The democratic party platform mentions women and girls multiple times, but never mentions boys and men. You put it very well that Biden's words ring hollow that he is for all Americans when he clearly neglects the needs of boys and men. He -- like many powerful men who go out of their way to support women and girls, but not other men and boys -- suffers from what I call "White Knight Syndrome."
Thanks for pointing the light to a real crucial problem in America. Since the feminist movement in the sixty-seventy era, men have been successively pushed to the side lines with a prevailing negativity from those who are radicalized. It’s why I didn’t jump on board with the whole spiel. Equal pay for equal work and equal time off was the extent of my cry. It seems the LGBTQ plus as well as women have a lot to say, but the males in America are labeled: supremacists, racist, violent, aggressive, homophobic, and of course chauvinistic. The whole hyperbolic echo just sickens me. Why? I love my father, my husband, my brothers, and my grandchildren. These are necessary people in my life. The statistics you show here, Sean, should be not only in the presidential address, but in the media. Submit this to the msm and Tucker. Maybe someone will hear.
