Universities across the nation are taking steps to actively purge male students of whats been labeled toxic masculinity.
Examples abound of campuses hosting training sessions, group meetings, lectures and other programs to effectively cleanse what many campus leaders and left-leaning scholars contend is an unhealthy masculinity in young men today.
On campus, toxic masculinity is often blamed for sexual violence, body shaming, a hyper-masculinized sporting culture, acts of domestic terrorism and much more.
For example, a class at Dartmouth College this semester, The Orlando Syllabus, identifies so-called toxic masculinity as playing a role in the mass murder spree at a Florida club during the summer. This despite the fact that the gunman, Omar Mateen, told police on the phone as he committed the massacre he did it on behalf of ISIS.
Other instances of combating toxic masculinity on campus can be found at both the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and Duke University, which launched programs specifically designed for male students to delve into violent masculinity and healthier masculinity and discuss issues like gender fluidity.
How has the concept of masculinity contributed to the perpetration of violence in our society? asks the UNC Mens Project website.
Duke University started a similar program this semester for male students to reflect on topics such as patriarchy, male privilege, rape culture, pornography, machismo and the language of dominance, Fox News reported.
At a mandatory freshmen orientation training at Gettysburg College in August, male students had to watch a documentary which stated in part that the three most destructive words a boy can hear growing up is be a man. The freshmen also went through breakout sessions in which they were told mass shooting sprees are rooted in toxic masculinity.

“toxic Masculinity”
Another made up term to put in the OBamanation Newspeak dictionary along with;
Alt-Right
Miscroaggression
White Hispanic
etc...
and the “force” is strong in that one
Yeah, ‘toxic’ masculinity leaked over into American females years ago!
Some people are simply too stupid to realize just how stupid they are.
Males have to be males. Females have to be females. Those things cannot be taught or un-taught.
“TRENDING: Universities work to purge male students of their toxic masculinity”
I hope they’re not thinking of “Bobbitizing” as the “purging” method.
Perhaps all of the special snowflakes would like to replace all the male campus cops. I didn’t think so.
It’s always some kind of ‘purge’ with these Marxists.
Let’s see if they have the courage to purge Muslim students of their toxic supremacism.
When the three Toxic Amendments were passed including especially the 19th, this all became inevitable. We cannot escape. We can damp it down from time to time but it will come back more virulent than before. We are a Feminine Culture now. The mechanics of the system are run by men but the tone and direction are determined by Women and among them by the most politically active and determined. This is generally true of all Western nations, less so for now in Switzerland because they gave women the franchise more recently. The world will ultimately be ruled by Masculine cultures, either the Chinese or the Moslems. Both have minimized feminine influence on the polity, the Chinese by widespread selective abortion and the Islamic by the total subjection of women. Feminine cultures ultimately emasculate the foreign relations and there economies because of female proclivities to strive for protection and niceness rather than for liberty and prosperity.
Well, Cabernet Sauvignon mixed with a little Valium, I suspect.

What kind of toxicity is it to accuse a sports team falsely of sexual assault? What kind of toxicity is it for a university’s faculty members to be complicit in such a false accusation?

Shut down college football and mens basketball and lets see how long the colleges keep their doors open.

They want their sports teams to discuss draperies and floral arrangements with a lisp, not actually play.
More women than men attend universities right now anyway. The trend will continue.
That has always been their contradiction. Also, they'll ignore truly hyper-masculinized cultures like the Middle East.
In fairness, there are positive and negative sides to masculinity, so to a certain extent I understand the point of "toxic." Positive -- intellectual, rational, disciplined. Negative -- cruel, violent, rigid. The problem is, these women despise anything connected with men. They seem obsessed with it.
There is also positive (grace, beauty, nurturance, compassion, harmony) and negative femininity (oversensual, hysterical, irrational, emotional). Unfortunately, these women seem to have co-opted the negative of both masculine & feminine.
