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.”

Mansplaining: Males or anyone offering you a solution for the problem you’ve been whining about, instead of just sitting there and commiserating with you.

what about bitchsplaining?

Oh, I'm glad I wasn't drinking my coffee when I read that! LOL!

[Redwood71]

Why are just the men being studied or “trained?”

If there were ever a wasted effort, it’s trying to ‘splain something to a bitch.

The seminar is intended to instruct men on how to capitulate to screeching feminist harpies. That's not the type seminar I had in mind.

[HotHunt]

What in the hale is this bulls*t? This is what colleges offer as an education?

How about a class from the Men Studies (why do all these colleges have Women Studies or Black Studies?) department to teach women how to stop being nags and b*tches and suck it up and learn to be a "man"?

Silly man!

There IS no other socially approved response to screeching feminist harpies!

[Mr. Mojo]

lol...certainly not socially approved.

[TheNext]

And what do you do about it when someone talks over or interrupts you??

Most people passively concede.

[tbpiper]

That could be a fun class to take if you have a slightly wicked sense of humor.

[Spruce]

Haha, troll the ever-loving crap outta this “course!

[Maceman]

UConn needs to stop faculty members and SJWs from “leftsplaining.”

[Personal Responsibility]

Let me explain why this will be pointless....

[Personal Responsibility]

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.

Not to be flip here but you're just learning that? This has been going on for years.

This is what colleges offer as an education?

From the colleges' viewpoint, it pays them the same as real instruction, and it's a whole lot easier to set up. All you need is a room, and a screeching harpy instructor, and you can charge the same for each semester hour of that as you could for nuclear physics. No need to set up an expensive lab, and no need to find an instructor with real qualifications!

What's not to like?

The students, well, they're stuck with jumping through whatever flaming hoop the colleges hold in front of them.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They seem to believe they are conducting kindergarten classes.

Being a typical white male I'm of *very* limited intelligence.Add to that the fact that my opinions mean nothing in this Brave New World...

[Dr. Thorne]

If men didn’t interrupt women, they would never get a chance to say anything.
