Men's Studies Activism Project Launched
posted by Scott on 06:53 PM December 30th, 2005
Education I am collaborating with Dr. Ed Stephens (president of NCFM's Greater New York chapter) to do some research necessary for an effort to get Men's Studies programs established at major 4-year colleges and universities. There is now a wiki page where you can participate in this project, and this is a perfect activism project from the standpoint that you can made a helpful contribution with as little as ten minutes' research on the web. The information we collect will be used to approach these colleges and universities to request that Men's Studies departments be created, to collect paperwork of their responses, and (in all likelihood), have a strong body of documentation that could be used in a future sex discrimination lawsuit. Please take a look at this project and offer some help - there is a lot of work to do, but it will be easy if a good number of people participate to help break up the tasks.

That's a really an awesome idea but let us make sure that we don't get to extreme with our views and make up false facts like the femies have been caught doing. Most of all let's not teach young men to hate women like some feminists have been trying to make young women go into the world hating all men. Besides that though, this project seems like an amazing idea and I wish all of you involved with it the best of luck!

It would be such a blast to see a Men's Studies prof doing a blow-by-blow deconstructive analysis of the identical Women's Studies lecture given just the day previous, just across the quad....LOL!!

If this gets off the ground in a big way, you may be certain that the radical campus womyn will be snarling and foaming and pissing themselves like rabid jackals. Fun, fun, fun!

A little googling will turn up hundreds of references to "men's studies." (Make sure you use the quotation marks around the search term or you will get millions of women's studies links.)

Most men's studies courses and programs seem to already have been co-opted as sub-divisions of feminist-dominated "gender studies."

There's an interesting academic history at the American Men's Studies Association web site -
http:mensstudies.org.

One common theme among men's studies programs is that none of them refute, reject, or assertively critique feminism.

Most are about the gendered construction of masculinity, revisioning/reforming masculinity, or overcoming the oppression of masculinity.

And, at present, there are hundreds of Women's Studies departments augmented by hundreds of Women's Centers at virtually every college and university in FemAmerica.

Here's just 10% of what a Men's Studies movement will be up against (and the list is not inclusive) --

Great idea Scott. Maybe you can list some of the tasks that you need help with and we can each do a bit. I know I would like to help out when I have the time.

I will never forget calling the administration of the University of Maryland when my daughter was a student there and asking the representative why there were no Men's Studies. Do you know what he told me? I am not making this up, he said "There is no men's studies department because men have never been oppressed." This is what they are thinking. Men have never been oppressed. lol The intellectual climate is such that it is assumed that women have been oppressed for thousands of years. There has been some serious brainwashing going on.

The Eternal Silence of a Unique Group of Men - Remembering America's War Dead Who Never Had The Right to Vote

I found out after discussing this article online that UK men in WWI could not vote if they were not land owners. Imagine how many U.K. men died for their country without ever having the right to vote. Also, women routinely gave men white feathers if they thought they should be "off to war" defending them, and the U.K.

Women talk a lot about not having the right to vote, but when you look at all the men and women born in the 20th Century, it is men whose voting rights were the most oppressed. When we look at the most recent history of voting rights oppression by gender it is again males who have been most oppressed.

Would it be possible to have a men's studies program that is not devisive or belittling of women?

I wonder what the results of a study would be that followed the progress of women's studies students/graduates after they left college and how their progress compares to all other women who never attended the courses?

And if it turns out bad for the women's studies grads, should all employers, boyfriends, and husband candidates be forewarned? Should these women be required to forewarn all these people? :-]

I am in total agreement. One can only hope that by the time a Male or Female gets into college that they know what gender they are. In so far as studying oppression, well I don't believe that it is gender specific. In so far as your query, I wonder my self, although I have a good idea from what I've seen.

I agree, but I think we can do some really serious damage if we are selective in our actions, choosing the ones that will do the most for the most. Even though I'm supporting this project, I don't believe it will do a lot of good because I think that the men's programs will end up not teaching what we want to be taught and the women's studies programs will continue on their merry way teaching what they've been teaching all along.

>No man living today will see "liberated" men on this planet

>Tell me I'm wrong?

Does the existence of government nix being liberated? How about taxes? Or just high taxes?

I suspect we're getting into a really philosophical discussion that could really go on and on and on. What about smart people who have more than one passport (dual citizenship) from more than one country and spend most or all their time in other countries? For instance, if I was living this way in another country and was ordered to pay alimony for years and years after a contentious divorce, I could just pick up and move to another country. No big deal. I think I read once that the U.S. is the only country that taxes the income of its citizens that they make overseas. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to do away with that requirement depending on a person's priorities.

Since we all have different priorities and desires, there are always different countries we can go to for different sets of rules, but total liberation? I'm not sure that could ever exist for a population or country but it could for a smart and cagey individual.

Have you seen the latest list of the top ten conservative colleges in America? Notice the excerpt that states:

Furthermore, they avoid trends in academe by continuing to study Western Civilization instead of straying toward the study of Marxism, feminism, sexuality, postmodernism, and other modern distractions that do not give students a complete understanding of our country, our culture, and its founding principles...

With the college population of males dwindling, I wonder how these colleges are faring in comparison to all the others.

I wonder. Would it be possible for the conservative movement to take over all the colleges in America, one by one or even faster, until we were totally in control of this important segment of our society? Now I think that would be worth working for!

Good points Erica, good insights. Eliminating those programs and integrating Black Studies curriculum and Women's Studies curriculum into other curriculums has been discussed in Academia for some time and that has been done to some degree at some colleges and universities.

Sadly, the whole communist/socialist agenda lingers in most of the liberal arts classes, right alongside most of the male bashing and white race bashing rhetoric. Apparently, ojectivity is ananthama to those disciplines.

Political Science and Sociology are most notable for their bias against males, and white people. Before anyone attacks me I suggest you go into your local college bookstore (as I did) and check out what's on the shelves. Political correctness has turned many campuses into nothing more than tax-payer funded training camps on how to commit hate crimes against males and white people. On college campuses today it is perfectly okay to be sexist as long as you are being sexist against males, and it is okay to be racist as long as you are being racist against white people. It's a fact that no amount of ad hominem name calling, i.e. "dumba$$," i.e. "troll" will change those facts so deal with it.

If you care about men's rights, you will care about the rights of ALL men and keep divisive diatribes to yourself. If you have a bug up the a** about blacks and other minorities, do us all a favor and keep that to yourself too. Otherwise, the movement simply can't afford you.

And that, my friend, is the bottom line.

If you care about the rights of all men maybe you will pass that along to "Roy" and others who quite frequently get divisive on this web site, and take the advice yourself. And as long as your for equality, maybe you and Mensactivism can confront leftist trolls to this site as harshly as you confront those presenting a conservative viewpoint.

It is good that an MR organization is backing this movement. The strange case of Prof. Jeffrey Archer demonstrates the lengths to which the feminist machine will go to thwart individual efforts.

The termination of Men's Lives eliminated the only rational opposition to political correctness and feminist domination at Dawson College. Half of the human race remains unexamined, except for condemnation. In 2000, Canadian universities listed two courses on men, neither taught that year, and more than 1,617 feminist courses, offered in programs from undergraduate to PhD degrees.

Although this occured in Canada, things are as bad, maybe worse, in the U.S. What is really obnoxious is the lengths to which the fems went to kill this program. Unlike women's studies courses there was no attempt at indoctrination or recruitment; the course was not anti-female, just pro-truth; and, remarkably, the course was as popular with women as men (2/3 of the class was female!). What really threatened the fems was the contrast in methodology between men's studies and women's studies.

If we get a foot in the door...

I found over 50 women's studies "programs" (each with multiple classes, being taught at colleges and universities in man-hating California. I found none for men.

Wow, I'm really impressed with all the activity going into this project. It started with only a handful of schools listed, and a couple of days later it's now got at least one school in 46 states!

Since there are going to be more stages to this activisvm project, and MANN stories tend to fall off the main index fairly quickly, would it be helpful for me to create an e-mail list for participants to use?

YES.
Please create an e-mail list for participants to use.

What is the "lameness filter"? A filter preventing one word posts?

Are you talking about a list that e-mail address-searching software will be able to find and add the addresses to permanent totally annoying e-mail sucker lists, plus then have their addresses resold to other spammers infinitum?

Get ready guys! Here it comes! I sure am glad I left my e-mail address off the registration form.

No. If participants preferred that it were a closed list, I can create one that performs e-mail address obsfucation in the archives to avoid spam harvesters.

I have created an e-mail list for active participants in this project. It can be found at:

http://mail.mensactivism.org/mailman/listinfo/mens -studies

The link above has an incorrect space between "mens" and "-studies". The link will work without the space, i.e "http://.../listinfo/mens-studies"

Please note, this list is intended for people who are constructively participating in this project.
