University greek life talks feminism and gender roles

Article here. Excerpt:

'Greek life’s strong systemic adherence to traditional gender roles can make feminism a difficult topic to approach, some University of Minnesota greek students said.

At a Wednesday discussion called, “Feminism is for Everyone,” students explored their definitions of gender equity and dispelled common misconceptions about feminism to help promote it in an academic and social setting, said Jackson Ridl, a men’s engagement student staff member for the Aurora Center.
...
Both women and male peers can help police masculinity in order to lessen the pressure of these societal and greek system expectations in romantic relationships and power structures, Kolb said.

Male allies serve an important role of furthering feminism’s mainstream acceptance and presenting it as a universal discussion instead of a campaign against men, said Zack Gill, a graduate student in school counseling.

“Gender inequality is a man’s problem to change,” he said.'

"police masculinity"?? WTF?

What about people like me who love masculinity and would hate to see it "policed"?

One of the purposes of feminism is to turn all men into criminals--or demand that all men be treated as if they are criminals.

This is just an effort to convince Greek men to help in the effort.

Feminism is for everyone. . .

so please help us police masculinity!

Well, at least they're not being subtle, and are happy to fill their rhetoric with more contradictions than there are grains of sand on earth. Here's hoping they keep it up, so the farce is obvious to all.
