I\u2019m from Doncaster and I see an awful lot of young boys and young men out there with little aspiration and lives not given the best opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They tend to be neglected by people within authority and also government as a whole. We need to be addressing this.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted statistics that show 75 per cent of those who take their own lives are men, life expectancy is 3.7 years lower for them than women, and that 83 per cent of rough sleepers are male as are 96 per cent of the prison population.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If that was the other way around there would be a complete outcry,\u2019 he said of the jail figures. \u2018We need to do something about it. We are failing our young boys, we are failing our young men, we are failing society and we\u2019re failing women and girls too.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He insisted he did not believe the needs of boys and men were greater than those of girls and women: \u2018Obviously over the last century we\u2019ve worked hard with equality to put women at the table along with men which is super important. But we can do two things at once.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Especially in the last ten to 15 years we are neglecting our young boys and young men who are coming through.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/05\/23\/75080457-12484567-Nick_Fletcher_who_represents_Don_Valley_appeared_on_the_flagship-a-24_1693952202304.jpg\" height=\"593\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mr Fletcher appeared on BBC Radio 4&#8217;s Women&#8217;s Hour arguing that the role would help men live a healthy and fulfilling life and be a &#8216;good part of society&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Fletcher pointed out there was a women\u2019s health strategy and a hospital for women, but nothing comparable for men even though 88 die of heart disease every day.<\/p>\n<p>He told Woman\u2019s Hour: \u2018It\u2019s fantastic that we\u2019ve got a cabinet member for women and inequality. We\u2019ve also got a junior minister too who looks after women. We just need the same for men too.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Most of your listeners out there have got a man in their life and they want their son, their father, their husband, their brother, to do well, to have a healthy life and to have a fulfilling life and be a good part of society.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Mr Fletcher, Conservative MP for Don Valley since 2019, said only one in seven primary teachers was male and one in three primary schools had none. He said: \u2018If you\u2019ve got a young boy at home who\u2019s father\u2019s not around, and then at school there\u2019s no male teachers at all, it\u2019s very difficult for him to find his way.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Asked about a quota of male teachers, he said a minister for men would raise this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12484567\/Tory-MP-calls-dedicated-minister-men-campaign-male-teachers-combat-online-misogynists-like-Andrew-Tate-insists-wouldnt-away-fighting-equality-women-two-things-once.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tory MP calls for a dedicated &#8216;minister for men&#8217;
