Feminists often complain about how we live in a “patriarchy”, and how women are “oppressed” and men privileged.

Remember that when reading over this list and try to think of a single group in history that called themselves oppressed, but had so much dedicated to them. In contrast, there is not a single Federal level program dedicated to men or even boys in the US. Also note that almost every one of these female only programs are in areas where women are doing far better than men and boys (education, health care, homicide, homeless, workplace death, violence).

Editors note: I had to “manually” find these programs as there is not a government list that tells you how much of your tax dollars are given to one genders issues. So to put it simply this list is, more than likely, incomplete. Also be sure to note that this is a list of Federal level female only programs. I did not even attempt to list all the state level programs for women as there are far too many, and the bandwidth on this webpage would probably give out if they were all put on one page.
