For example, hormones have an impact on psychology and our hormone levels come from our biology, which is entirely based on evolution. I'm not an expert in any relevant re… | /r/MensRights | 31/01/12 08:33 PM |
| 9 | Masculinity Studies offered as a course at Concordia UniversityIt's great that mainstream academic institutions are willing to accept that men are facing issues too, but I have a problem with this... when feminists say "the solution to men's issues is more feminism," this is what they were talking about. I noticed the instructor of the course uses a lot of rather feminist terminology in the interview, namely the notion of gender role expectations being "oppressive" to men, and how we need to dump the expectation of acting invulnerable, never weak... but tha… | /r/MensRights | 31/01/12 03:22 PM |
