“I strongly believe that what our men need to hear, and feel from the world, is love. For me, outside of romantic relationships, I was far remiss in offering any such words to the other men in my life.” — Rachana Bhide, former Radio MC
Women and the ‘Crisis of Culture’
French professor Olivier Roy recently published a book on the “Crisis of Culture” in which he traces the growth of individual political and sexual freedoms from the 1960s, resulting in the loss of “shared culture” around the world. This Crisis of Culture has been deeply hurtful to women, as evidenced by:
- Mental health crisis among young liberal women
- Growing problem of loneliness among elderly women
- Disillusionment of women with the feminist goal of “smashing the patriarchy“
All of these problems are closely connected to the challenges faced by men. Every woman has a father, and most women have a husband or boyfriend, brothers, sons, and other men they deeply care for. Bottom line, men and women need each other. Also see ‘She for He‘ page.

Women and Families Conference
On March 13, 2024, representatives from the International Council for Men and Boys made a well-received presentation at the Women and Families Conference in New York City. During the question-and-answer period, the women offered these supportive comments:
- “I am happy to be here and I am a supporter of men being men!”
- “I want to tell you, thank you very much for discussing such an important issue because I’m from Liberia, Africa. Since I came here, I see how children are disconnected from their fathers. I want to tell you guys, thanks very much for raising these important issues.”
- “I am with an organization called Big Ocean Women and we believe in faith, family, and motherhood, and the irreplaceable need for men in family situations. I am tired of the media maligning you and only projecting men as testosterone filled, violent people because they are not.”
- “The feminization of poverty worldwide is because men have been removed from caring for their families.”
A video of the entire session, including audience comments, can be viewed HERE.
