Vanderbilt Women's Center to Lecture Men on 'Healthy Masculinities'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Vanderbilt University’s Women’s Center will be hosting a week-long event dedicated to lecturing men about what it means to have “healthy masculinity.”

The “Healthy Masculinities Week” is sponsored by Vanderbilt’s Margaret Cuninggim Women’s Center, which claims to be devoted to “Celebrating Women” while “Empowering All.”

The mission of the Women’s Center is to affirm a “space for all members of the Vanderbilt community that acknowledges and actively resists sexism, racism, homophobia, and all forms of oppression while advocating for positive social change.”
...
“Healthy Masculinities Week” hopes to encourage men to “[e]xplore healthy masculinity through various lenses,” such as “American society, the gay and bisexual community, fraternities, and more.”

The first event as part of the “Healthy Masculinities Week” is called, “The Macho Paradox: Why some men hurt and how all men can help.” The title is a reference to a book by Jackson Katz, who is a self-proclaimed “anti-sexist activist” and the speaker for the event.'

Would it be OK if the Men's Center at universities lectured women on "Healthy Femininity"?

Oh that's right, there are no men's centers at universities.

can lecture men on campuses on how to be men,
then maybe men should lecture females on how to be women.
all waves of feminism are touted as being about equality between the sexes, right? that sounds fair to me.
and what makes them more expert on men than men are experts on women?
I see their double standard is showing, as usual.

hope they don't start trying to explain math and science again.
geesh, was that ever a disaster. there is an old saying, 'stick to what you know'. I say stick to what you are good at. no wait, they don't teach bichin, complaining, shopping and signing up for privilege and free stuff in college, do they?
