As we watch the rise of the Snowflake Generation with a mixture of bemusement and horror – you know, the young people unable to use a can opener but who are certain they’re qualified to dictate business and social policy, the generation who can work a smartphone like a brain surgeon but can’t figure out what gender they are – it should come as no surprise that manhood and masculinity have come under fire.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to be a man, look no further than the University of Wisconsin-Madison. There you’ll find the answer: Real men act like women. There, problem solved. Ta da!

To underscore this, the University of Wisconsin-Madison offers a six-week program called Men’s Project, the aim of which is “to counter the alleged harmful effects of society’s masculinity paradigms and pressures and empower participants to promote ‘gender equity.'”

This syllabus alone is enough to force my husband into his “safe space” (the shop) and start cleaning his guns.

According to the project’s promotional material, the course “creates a space for critical self-reflection and dialogue about what it means to be a man and how masculinity impacts us and those around us. … The experience focuses on the examination of societal images, expectations, and messages around masculinity to empower men to better understand themselves, promote the advancement of gender equity, and raise consciousness in their communities.”

Gosh, do you feel manly yet?

On a previous thread regarding this subject, I suggested that UW-Madison offer a culinary course to female students, so that they’ll know how to make a good sammich. lol

I understand, and you have a valid point. Nowadays you can’t find 3 Americans who can agree on who should be on our money, for example.
