Several years ago, a friend of ours, filmmaker Evan Coyne Maloney, attempted to lampoon the iconic field of women's studies by showing up at random campuses, on camera, and asking where he could find the men's studies department. It turns out that Evan may have been ahead of his time.
"A few institutions have established centers of masculinity research and counseling," Peter Monaghan reports in the December 15, 2017 issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education. "Among them are the Center for the Study of Masculinities and Men's Development at Western Illinois University and the Men and Masculinities Center at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst."
"At Stony Brook, Mr. [Charles L.] Robbins and his colleagues work with one of the most prominent figures in the field, Michael Kimmel, who runs the university's Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities and who, thanks to such best-selling books as Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men (2008), has been dubbed by The Atlantic as 'The Bro Whisperer.'" There is also the Duke [University, not Wayne] Men's Project and the masculinity project at Richmond College.
Beyond making men feel better about themselves through various forms of therapy, what has all this research unearthed? "Similarly, research shows that male students spend far more time playing video games, watching television, and going to the gym than female students do," Monaghan writes.
A men’s course at Duke university??? LOL!!
Go down to the athletic fields. It’s exceedingly difficult to field “competitive” baseball and football teams without a strong sense of it.
Not every school has a men’s studies, but at some universities it is called the School of Engineering.
so far
This Michael Kimmel guy claims women are good "masculine" role-models for boys.
Academia = Fraud.
And if that's not your thing, Boot Camp might be worth investigating.
If young people grow up in loving and strong hetero two-parent homes, masculine and feminine studies are redundant.
Yeah...I don’t think these programs are to affirm and support masculinity....
They are geared toward making masculinity “less toxic” whatever the hell that means.
Let me guess. The Men’s Studies Department I’d headed up by some “it” known as Ms. Equinox Vagina, and one of the prerequisites is a course on kneeling and begging.
This won’t end well.

The Cleansing will be Old Testament in scope and nature.

Exactly! Our males are the builders of our species.
What? No research results on beer, cornhole, beer pong, terrain parks, lifting, and chasing girls? Clearly, more research is required.
Not at Purdue.
It’s a bait and switch. Those programs were started by homosexuals and feminists.
Mes’s Studie are and will be run by Progressives/Feminists and will simply amplify the men-are-all-perverts-and slavemasters theme.
