The Silent Crisis

Men Are Disappearing

Something is happening to men. Not suddenly, but slowly—a quiet erosion that most refuse to acknowledge. Testosterone levels in Western men have declined by roughly 1% every year since the 1980s. Sperm counts have plummeted by over 50% in the same period. These aren't fringe statistics. This is a biological shift unprecedented in recorded history.

Boys are falling behind in schools. Young men are retreating from society. Suicide rates among men are three to four times higher than women. Marriage rates collapse while loneliness becomes epidemic. We are witnessing—in real time—what happens when a civilisation neglects half its population.

We do not care for politics. But we do care for civilisation's survival and being a voice for men.

Our Mission

Not Against Anyone. For Everyone.

SALIENTS exists because men need a space to become better—without apology, without shame, and without the culture war noise that benefits no one. We are not anti-woman. We are not anti-modern. We are pro-civilisation.

When men thrive, families thrive. When families thrive, communities strengthen. When communities strengthen, societies flourish. This isn't ideology—it's observable reality across every culture and every era of human history.

We believe in intelligent discourse—bringing men and women together to understand our complementary roles, our shared challenges, and our collective future. Not through division, but through dialogue. Not through blame, but through building.

The answer to declining masculinity is not to abandon it. It's to reclaim it—properly, responsibly, and with full awareness of the legacy we inherit and the future we must create.

⚖

Building Bridges, Not Walls

The conversation around masculinity has become needlessly adversarial. Men versus women. Traditional versus progressive. Us versus them. But civilisation has never been built through division.

At SALIENTS, we advocate for intelligent discourse—honest conversations between men and women about our complementary strengths, our shared vulnerabilities, and our mutual dependence. Women don't benefit from weak men. Men don't thrive in isolation from women. We rise together or we fall apart.

This means acknowledging uncomfortable truths on all sides. It means listening before reacting. It means building a future where strength and sensitivity, ambition and empathy, masculinity and femininity are not at war—but in harmony.

Meet the Founder

"Eat well, train hard, and never give up."

As the founder of SALIENTS®, a certified diet & nutrition advisor, Saj created ATHANASE®, the world's first superfood blend formulated specifically for men.

Saj believes men should strive to unlock their full potential. Not just for their own sake, but for the future of their families and communities. He states that men play a complex, pivotal role in shaping our society and as such, men must elevate many areas of their lives to fulfill this responsibility.

SALIENTS is a cultural project, a movement to help men become more serious, more disciplined, and more anti-fragile in a world that often seems designed to weaken them.
