Hey guys, first post here! I go to a small Christian college in the heart of the Bible Belt. Over the past few months I have been doing some reading on the side. Books like “12 Rules For Life” and “Empire of Illusion.” I have also been listening to many lectures online from certain humanities professors at other college (I am a premed major myself so I don’t take many humanities) It has came to my attention that modern day society seems to oppress masculinity, and encourage a victimhood mentality. This is causing some serious visible effects on this who are around me. So to counter this I plan on starting a sort of book club/ men’s development to help combat some of the continuous resistance we get. One where ideas can be shared freely. One where you don’t have to be afraid to make a joke. One where when your feelings are hurt or you disagree with someone you have to tough it out, or talk it out.
Not a safe space, but a space where we can discover, discuss, and debate important ideas and books that can help us preserve us men. A club where hard-headedness and genuine debate is encouraged instead of agreeableness and giving up.
Now how do I propose this to a professor? To start one formally we have to have a professor sign off and sponsor the idea. I plan to ask my biology professor who I not only rent to connect with better but he also reads similar book to me. As we ended up reading the “12 rules for life” at the same time, and only found out about it after.
Also if you have any ideas for it that would be cool Thank you
