Duke University Launches A New Program For Male Feminists

Keeping up with the modern times and embracing the ever-growing movement of feminism, Duke University announced it will be launching a new initiative targeted specifically at men feminists.

Crafter together with the university’s Women’s Center, the Duke Men’s Project is a nine-week long storytelling program that aims to “create a space of brotherhood fellowship dedicated to interrogating male privilege and patriarchy.”

Talking to Broadly about their new voluntary program, Duke’s executive director of news and communication, Keith Lawrence, explained:

“Men who sign up for this program can explore concepts of masculinity and how those concepts influence the world around them.

The program is similar to ones on many college campuses that offer opportunities for students to explore issues related to masculinity.”

Aiming to deconstruct toxic masculinity According to Duke Chronicle op-ed, the Duke Men’s Project will encourage participants to “critique and analyze their own toxic masculinities” in order to create a healthier outlook.

Toxic masculinity is often described the “socially-constructed attitude” that sees the masculine gender as violent, aggressive, seeking control. The manifestations of toxic masculinity include rape, sexual harassment, domestic violence against women, gun violence, etc.

Per Broadly’s interview with a masculinity scholar and sociology professor Tristan Bridges, “while women do suffer from the results of so-called toxic masculinity, the victims who often go unnoticed are men themselves.”

Men who sign up for this program are not real men. They have already been neutered.

Since when did Universities decide that America's economy hinges on social justice indoctrination? Isn't a life skill set and education in sciences and business worth the tens of thousands of dollars instead?

"Communitah Organizing" is only a "skill set" from learning SJW 101, and at that, the goal is obviously setting a nation on fire. The academe has become a Marxist-Atheist colony of intellectual and moral lepers.

Welcome to PUKE UNIVERSITY. Once a great school, it is now joining the rest of the PC cesspools arising in the South and Midwest.

If guys want to very quickly and cheaply (no course to pay for) to find out about their masculinity, I suggest, respectfully, that they take their right hand and grab their groin area. If it hurts, then they are men. If it doesn’t, they’d better see a doctor.

If their dress gets in the way, I can’t help you.

The Professor’s teaching assistant will also provide manicures and back waxing for the properly manscaped feminist.

I thought even Hopkins had shut down their gender-transition program. No?

Addressing the complaints, student member of Duke Men’s Project Conor Smith reiterated that the goal here is NOT to pit men and women against each other and praise one side as superior. The goal is to “dismantle an inherently oppressive system” through civilized and open discussions.

Oh Conor, you stupid tool, that's just what the bitches told you to say.

Emasculation of students is a core part of the agenda to destroy western culture, and especially Christian culture.

By male feminists they mean the “swish” boys who use the women’s toilets at Target, right?

Time was many “male feminists” seemed to be going along to get along ... and get some.

After all, most feminists are not bull dykes no matter the old stereotypes. Never were.

Now ... just seems like they are more brainwashed leftists believing sex and race based nonsense.
