Kimmel:

To my mind, these critiques by the MRAs are inevitable. They spend a lot of time trolling the internet and yelling at people. That’s not serious research.

Well, now this really does take the piss. Michael Kimmel lecturing other people on 'serious research'! The guy is an embarrassment to the academy and to Stony Brook University. He got informed about a horrific Woozle in his textbook that showed him up as a sloppy researcher, and he was unperturbed.

Kimmel maintains that the center, and the program, will stand apart from the current Women’s and Gender studies program at Stony Brook.

It seems that the best way to shut down opposing views is to pretend that you are one and take up the only space available.

I'm surprised that radical feminists don't co-op masculine studies to their own cause with classes like:

How to unlearn being a rapist.
Understanding violent Male behavior.
War: A Man's calling
The cost of divorce: How to understand men and get them to pay.

I love it. Study of men and masculinity? Of course it has to be controlled by females/feminists...

Academic level sociology and gender studies is a fucking joke and a sustained attack on men and masculinity. Thank fuck that academia is moving to being job-factories these days and hopefully we'll see these incredibly shitty BA's and the failures who've flopped into them being written off the books.

If they think a Feminist's point of view will be so valuable, couldn't the have asked Warren Farrell to be on the board?

Please take a minute to sign the petition below (real easy) and let them know what a joke their center for masculine studies is.

the criticism seems legit, imo.

“Just because some of the members are feminists does not mean that they don’t have valuable ideas to contribute to the program,” Kodis said. “If anything, I feel like it would have a mostly positive effect looking at the study of men and masculinities through different perspectives.”

Kodis, that's exactly like saying "If anything, I feel like nazis would have a mostly positive effect looking at blacks and black culture through different perspectives."

Somehow a centre for men created by feminists does not fill me with confidence. Do we really need another GMP?

Obviously I'm extremely suspicious, but if they can run the center fairly and not use it as a medium to push feminism on men, we should give them a chance. I don't suspect they will, but let's follow this one and see what happens.

Sociology is a waste land. It's turned into an activist boot camp. Michael Kimmel is a joke. To understand him and his self-hate as a man, you have to look into Eastern European Judiasm and the effects it had on expressions of Jewish Masculinity. The Jewish-American experience has defined the modern discourse is gender relations, helping to turn feminism from an equality movement to the ideology/religion that we see today.

Womens Studies: The study of how women are raped by men

Mens Studies: The study of how women are raped by men

They literally couldn't be more equal.

Before everyone runs off to sign the petition consider the following: This is a gender studies program. For the past few decades gender studies as a whole have been heavily geared towards feminine studies. A majority of those who decided to engage in gender studies were women. So it makes sense that more women would be on the board than men since they would have specialized in that area of study. If the program takes off, men will gravitate towards it and become male gender studies experts and eventually take over running the program.

It is quite possible that they reached out to male gender study experts and were unable to get them to participate for one reason or another.

But really, to achieve balance you are talking about swinging one female adviser to a male adviser.
