I know this isn't exclusively about men's rights, but it is part of the discussion in the video.

Good piece documenting the struggle of free speech on campus. Definitely would recommend to others, and I definitely wish my campus had a men's group like the one that the gentleman in the video was a part.

The CBC seems all over the place, but this was a good report.

Feminism is totalitarian power abusing others without fear of prosecution.

One the the people worried about men's groups.

She's worried it might be an anti-feminist space. Uh, yeah, so fucking what? How in the world is that a valid concern? You dumb fucking bitch. What fucking entitlement that you shut everything down so that your ideology isn't criticised. And the poor guy is sitting there saying he's crying cause he's so happy that they're coming up with ideas...

This was a good piece, thanks for sharing.

It's a real shame that colleges, which were and should be the biggest bastions of free and honest discourse about many topics, even unpopular ones, has been at the forefront of shutting down all dissenting opinions. The arguments for it are terrible too; saying that something "isn't free speech, it's hate speech" just shows that these people mistakenly think that the only people who should be free to speak are those that do not make them uncomfortable. It's like they're all a bunch of children, and they know that if they throw a big enough tantrum they can get the university or even the government to censor others for them. It's sick and unAmerican.

And the thing is, most of the things they are protesting ARE NOT hate speech. Even shit about Muslims could be seen as bigoted, but tend to focus on statistics contrasting before and after a substantial Muslim population moved in, or are directly quoting the Koran and prominent Islamic leaders. How is that hate speech?
