The problems men face aren’t spread evenly across American political geography. Men who live in states where Republicans reign suffer more. And the dismal differences between red and blue states are measurable, significant and not coincidental.
Cancer will kill 611,720 Americans this year, per federal projections; and men will disproportionately die from it. But cancer won’t kill them at equal rates. Men who live in red states — which spurn environmental protections and public health spending — have the highest rates of death from cancer (and Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cirrhosis, kidney failure, heart disease and influenza).
GOP polls repeatedly reject and weaken workplace safety rules, and men die on the job at the greatest rates in their states. But higher risk doesn’t mean more reward there: Men earn lower wages in red states than in blue states.
Conservatives constantly accuse liberals of denigrating the “traditional family,” so you’d think marriages would last longer in their states, where, after all, more people attend church every Sunday and pray. But no. Marriages fail more often in Republican states.
