Latest: SFU students up in arms over men's centre

This article made me rather emotional. Being blamed for social ills and for anyone to claim that we as men don't need a place to do when we hurt or that we shouldn't have a place to go/people to call when we need help. I don't have a support network to fall back on when I hurt so services like these are sometimes all I have between sanity and a really really bad decision.

The Women's Centre would, however, support a men's centre on one condition, and I paraphrase: if the men used the centre to admit to their gender crimes.

Seriously f*ck these people.

"Funding is a struggle. Depending on the source, women's organizations in B.C. receive between $80 million and $100 million from the provincial government. Men's organizations, Boere said, receive $500,000. A couple of years ago, the Nanaimo centre's funding was slashed, and last year it received $110,000 in gambling grants. It let two-thirds of its staff go and cut its programs."

Remember this whenever a femtheist wants to harp about how men don't pool their resources & start their own centers and shelters like women do.

I see a simple solution. If they wont allow a mens center then remove the womens center. Equality for all right?

All the hatred, misandry and sexism the women's center is spouting is just further proof that a men's center is needed. Pure and simple, the people putting forth all these false accusations of men and masculinity are not feminists, they are female chauvinists and misandrists hiding under the guise of the feminist label. These people are the reason the phrase "I'm not a feminist, but..." is used so frequently and it is seriously time that true feminist stop tolerating it and take back their label from these hateful bigots.

I'd also see it as a good idea to look into the curriculum of some gender studies classes and re-evaluate what they are teaching if they are also spewing this sexist garbage to cause otherwise open-minded and curious students to become closed-minded hateful people.

Did I read the same article as the rest of you guys? This article was very balanced and it highlights a definite need for men's centres. It also exposes the blatant sexism and hate being espoused by the resident feminists. This is probably the one of the more positive articles regarding the issue.

I still haven't seen a linked article that either interviewed the person who is trying to set this up or a supporter of it. I mean is there just a deliberate silence on their part, are the interviews not being pasted here or is it just a case of the people who are against just being louder and more proactive about getting their side of it out there?

edit: I apparently missed a good portion of the article. Sorry about that.

Is there anything we can do to help the men's center?
