TRENDING: Universities work to purge male students of their ‘toxic’ masculinity

Universities across the nation are taking steps to actively purge male students of what’s 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 Men’s 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.

What is needed is a purge in academia of “toxic” classes having zip, zilch, nada to do with education, and 100% to do with professors own politics and their political biases.

Yes, but as an unintended consequence of aggravated sluttitude, between a quarter and a third of them are carrying venereal disease at any given time.

Easy to fix. Don’t go to the colleges that support this kind of propaganda (unless you must go there). If you went there, don’t contribute to their fund drives. Support colleges that don’t brainwash their students. Boycott anything you can which is associated with that college, don’t pay em a penny for anything(even if you like college football, etc.).
If you have to go there and be indoctrinated, then get what used to be called “counter detailing “, i.e. information which contradicts their mentally lame mindset.
Finally don’t be a drunk, or drugged, out of control adolescent male who tries to weasel childish woman into bed. If she is that easy, she has probably done it before and may be carrying someone elses baby (blame it on you), or you may given you a permanent STD. Many people get CMV, Herpes, HPV, and other nasty viruses and or other bacteria or parasites, not to mention bacterial meningitis. You will regret it in later life when the repurcussions show up. Consider life long effects before enjoying your dopamine brain dump.
