White House petition to create office of men's health

Petition here. Excerpt:

'We are calling on all men—and those who love them—to urge the creation of a federal Office of Men’s Health. This office would join existing federal offices tasked with safeguarding the health of women, children, and minorities. Men are in need of similar attention because of critical health issues specific to their gender: a higher risk of premature death from stroke, heart disease, and diabetes; heightened odds of addiction; and a higher risk of harming themselves and others. The Office could also create messaging about the importance of nutrition and physical fitness and address social issues such as men’s access to paid family leave in the workplace. Addressing these problems will improve the lives of everyone, and the economy as a whole.'
