Feminism Masquerading as Men's Studies

A Men's Studies curriculum will soon be established at Nottingham Trent University in the UK. The program will offer degrees.

The course convener, Jim Wild, states, "...we need to apply what we have learned from feminists about men's abuse within the family, and apply it to day-to-day work."

The article goes on to state, "Wild is keen to emphasise the high levels of physical, emotional and sexual violence men inflict on women, children and one another. Students will explore why some men are abusive and how the structures that maintain this behaviour can be challenged. 'I want the course to contribute to ways in which statutory and voluntary agencies can assist men to break out of these patterns of behaviour and, as a consequence, protect women and children from such abuse.'"

The article makes no mention of violence by women against anyone.
