The University of South Australia has distanced itself from a proposal for a series of male studies courses, some of which were to be taught by hardline anti-feminist advocates.

The university has approved one of four proposed graduate courses, a certificate in male health and health promotion, which will begin online next month.

But an original proposal by one of the university's academics outlined three further certificates, including a course called ''males and sexism'', which named lecturers who have been published on radical men's rights websites.

But National Union of Students president Deanna Taylor said it was concerning that the academic who founded the course, Associate Professor Gary Misan, was linked to the controversial Americans.

''It's a slippery slope once you open the door to people with these views and give them a platform … it's not long before proposals like the ones that were rejected actually get approved,'' she said.'

Yep, I understand. That's exactly how feminists succeeded in getting where they have in unis and in society, and they know it. If REAL men's issues courses get into colleges, they know it'll start getting hot; competition has a way of doing that.
