Folk singer Pete Seeger asked a rhetorical question in a 1955 song: 'Where Have All the Young Men Gone.' That's the exact same query now being posed by Democrats, who are searching for all the young men who have jumped ship and now vote Republican. 

 

The Democratic Party has just launched a $20-million study on how to reach American males. You know, the very males many of them have denigrated for a couple of decades, labeling them 'toxic' and 'predators' and 'oppressors.'

 

Men have been driven to the right for many reasons, but one sticks out because it also alienates many women.  Namely, the question of whether biological males should be allowed to play in female sports.  No male athletes are competitively harmed by the policy, but almost all men know it's insane, a violation of common sense, physiology, and human nature.

 

Every recent poll shows that a vast majority of Americans, including 72% of young men, want transgender athletes banned from female sports. But Democrats, dominated by very vocal far-left activists, stubbornly remain on the other side of the issue.  Just try to find a prominent Democrat willing to speak out against trans athletes in women's sports.

 

California Governor Gavin Newsom half-heartedly said it may be 'unfair,' but his state has done little, and last weekend, a 16-year-old biological male dominated a high school track meet in the Golden State. Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton also broke ranks and made a candid admission:  "I have two little girls, I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I'm supposed to be afraid to say that."  Moulton was blasted by activists, one of his top aides resigned, and he's avoided the subject ever since.  When a bill came up in Congress to ban transgender athletes from girls' sports, Moulton voted against it.

 

So, if Democrats genuinely want to solve their man problem, they might start by defying the radicals and embracing common sense. Their aforementioned new plan is called 'Speaking with American Men,' code-named SAM.  It should include a very simple suggestion:  Allow Samantha to enjoy her sports and victories; don't make her compete against Samuel.  Young women will appreciate it, and so will most of those young men whose votes you so desperately seek.
