To increase male student retention and combat sexual violence, one California university is offering a “safe space” for male-identifying students to discover their authentic masculinity.
“Dudes Understanding Diversity and Ending Stereotypes (DUDES) is a traveling Men’s Center, housed in the Campus Diversity and Inclusion Center for students who identify as Men, as well as women, transgendered students, and male allies,” the University of Redlands states on its website.

The DUDES Resource Center, the description elaborates, “provides support for students who would like a safe space to talk about men’s issues, get involved on campus, and discuss issues regarding masculinity, media, gender roles, etc.”
DUDES is one of five “Gender Programs” at Redlands that are designed to supplement the work of the Women’s Center and the Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies Department. The other initiatives include a “Masculinity Discussions” series, as well as three programs that provide resources and support for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.
The “Masculinity Discussion” series provides students with alternative views of masculinity, because according to the website, “We believe it is crucial to deconstruct our societal understanding of masculinity and establish more inclusive definitions of manhood as part of the effort to reduce violence in our communities.”
DUDES other offerings include a fraternity-like brotherhood for male students interested in social justice called Rangi Ya Giza (RYG), as well as the Men Achieving Leadership Excellence and Success Institute, or MALES.
RYG hosted a rally this spring to discuss “issues of modern policing,” at which they encouraged participants to sign a petition asking the Department of Justice to mandate better data reporting in police departments.

University of Redlands is what happens when a Baptist colleges goes bad....
They better hurry the hell up. There isn’t much masculinity left in this country. Humanoids equipped as males are identifying themselves as women and are whipping women’s asses all over the country in sports, prom queens, women of the year and every other category. James Brown was right. This is definitely a man’s world.
All of this is the Left’s way of trying to deal with the reality that the consequence-free sex they have made a core tenet of their state religion is harmful to young women. They can’t even speak this reality aloud, so the only way they can try to address it is to keep punishing men more and more in an attempt to make their preferred modality of sex “safe” enough for young women to enjoy it. But it can’t work - if she loves him, she does not need any government interference, if she does not, then all the government interference in the world can’t take the emptiness away.

As a hiring manager, seeing this (like most other "studiez" courses) on a transcript would make me question the applicant's judgement...
Jesus, Mary & Joseph.
$45,000 a year for this fine education.
The Special High Intensity Training courses are a must.
The money quote:
“We believe it’s crucial to deconstruct our societal understanding of masculinity and establish more inclusive definitions of manhood as part of the effort to reduce violence in our communities.”
Translation: Whatever’s left of your masculinity will be surrendered at the door of this “safe space.”
Burn it all DOWN, Charlie!
All universities need to be bulldozed.
Thank you, Moose, for deploying the emergency John Wayne picture. I was almost to the point of “pajama boy” overload and yearning nostalgically for real men. I even had to run to his workshop to make sure Mr Pan Dowdy was still the real man I married.... thank goodness he is! Never have I been so thankful that I was born to a previous generation and grew up in an America where men acted like “men” and women were protected, cherished and adored, and universities (at least here in the south)taught academics (even chemistry class was a required subject for Home Ec majors.
.....
Lord of the Cucks..?
This will be ever so useful for the students to earn a living and pay their bills, etc. (mega sarcasm)
You’re most welcome.
In times such as these , one must keep such things to hand. :-)
Another “Irony?”
Feminists that support “Masculinity groups” for those that “identify” as male.
