California governor signs executive order to support boys and men and improve their mental health

I know this guy has had his fair share of controversy, especially after the big fire in LA, but this a good thing. I recall this guy is attempting to make a bid for running for POTUS in 2028. I've watched some of his interviews and even when people addressed shortcomings from the Democrats such as how the party comes off like a man-hating or even "blame it all on white people" kind of party. He seems to do good at acknowledging those shortcomings and pointing out solutions to said shortcomings. This feels like a solution to one of the many shortcomings of Democrats.

i just found out about this order because my mom found out and complained t weird, probably for gay men to meet, and "what about women and girls." Ugh... I didn't even answer I defaulted to a "Huh weird" I am so disgusted with the right now

Newsom might have his share of controversy, but this might be encouraging. Trying to close the gender gap in the teaching profession is a big step in winning men back again - let’s see how it plays out!

Amazing how they need to be frightened into supporting 49% of the population who pays 60% of the taxes.

You would thibk men and boys would be valued anyway.

Pathetic, "panic activism" at best if you ask me...

Hopefully this guy lifts the ban on anti-circumcision advocacy. After the shitshow that happened in 2012.

I'm going to take this as good news. Yes the Dems are probably pandering and hoping that will be enough to regain what they lost with men on the last election, however any movement is good movement and all politicians pander so why not to us? So the words have been said at least, but I am still going to be watching for actions.

“The order directs the state Health and Human Services Agency to recommend ways to address suicide rates among young men and help them seek services to improve their mental health and well-being.”

So what does this mean? Improve mental health and wellbeing by providing APA-trained feminist talk therapists to educate them on their male-privilege. To tell them that if they were better male allies they wouldn’t feel so guilty for being selfish, misogynist, patriarchal oppressors and maybe then everyone wouldn’t hate them so much. Tell them they’re probably racist too. Tell them they’ve coasted through life in a boys. Educate them in all the ways that they are garbage human beings and everyone thinks they are garbage human beings and if they weren’t such utter trash then maybe they wouldn’t feel like trash.

I just don’t think that’ll help. I think that’ll have the opposite effect. I think this will be more of the same until there are fundamental changes in culture. And maybe this is the start, but I kinda doubt it. Maybe I’m a pessimist.

Okay sure, but what does that actually mean?

I'm very far left but I'm glad Newsom is getting some support as he is something we have in practicality. It's much better than letting rightwingers take advantage of drift.

Newsom vetoed a bill in California that would've created thousands of NSA housing for homeless people.

As we all know, homelessness is a huge issue that overwhelming affects men.

I think Newsom is doing this just for the good PR, but isn't actually dedicated. I'll be happily proven wrong If I see differently.

Honestly, seeing anything like this is great. I had kind of given up hope we would see change in our lifetime, or at least the near future.

Well, this is just more of the usual garbage. Emphasis on men doing more for others, including an outright directive for state orgs to get them to volunteer more. And of course on getting men to stop killing themselves, because unlike MAGA, these corporate ghouls are capable of recognizing that dead workers are useless workers.

I hope he will be the next president.
