UConn to help men stop ‘mansplaining,’ ‘interrupting others’
Campus Reform ^ | November 10, 2017 | Toni Airaksinen

The University of Connecticut is recruiting 20 male students for an 11-week program to help them stop “mansplaining” and “interrupting others.”

The Men’s Project is hosted by the school’s Women’s Center and vows to train men to “positively influence their peers by challenging social norms that promote gender based violence.”

I keep hearing that the young generation coming up now is more conservative than previous generations... but how will they survive all of this BS?

By far the biggest way to piss me off is to talk over me or constantly interrupt me.

Is there going to be a seminar about abortions and violence towards the unborn?

OK,we've learned that it's not OK to be white.Now we're learning that it's not OK for men (certainly white men,at least) to open their mouths.

Well then, just read the manual like I did.
I'll share my information with other white men and keep it secret from women and minorities, to avoid being accused of "mansplaining" or "whitesplaining".
Is that what they want?

The men’s basketball team will be utterly unaffected by this. In fact, they might have some nice girls take the course for them.

This sounds a lot like in the old days when black people were told they should not complain, they should “be respectful” (of their white overlords), and “know their place.”

They will have to be revolutionaries. Not necessarily in a military sense, but they will have to be the ones who stand and loudly say “NO” and then fight the system to make it stick. This is no longer a situation of “working within the system to reform it”.

Oddly enough, they will have to be the Suffragettes of the 21st Century because men and masculinity have to fight their way back into social acceptance.

If you are making a statement to me, predicated on fallacy, you ARE going to get interrupted.

Deal with it, or make sure your statements are defensible.

Yep. Let’s keep all the arcane secrets of how things work a white man secret. Then when our generations of real men die, the whole damn machine that makes their snowflakery possible can grind to a halt.

MEN interrupting others”??? MY experience is that is how we women communicate, at least socially.

So only men interrupt? only men talk down to people, as if they were stupid?

Uconn wants the men’s money, but not their opinion. They proceed to beat them down, harass them, accuse them of crimes they didn’t commit, place on them the entire burden of all that is wrong with the world, then expel them for nothing at all.

Maybe the Men should put on a class teaching women how to submit to their husbands.
