I'm a grad-student at a state school thinking of starting a men's issues study group. I got the idea from a talk Michael Kimmel gave. He mentioned having started a feminist study group in his undergraduate years. I thought his ideas were interesting, and that I'd almost never heard (or been assigned to read) such provoking things.

I should mention that I'm a master of social work student. I have noticed a lot of overt (and sometimes counter-factual) anti-male prejudices in the curricula. Sometimes I raise facts (oh, no, not facts) and that will sometimes change minds. But the prevailing ideologies in social work are, as you would expect, pretty anti-male. For example, best practice in intimate partner violence interventions is -- and must be -- the Duluth Model. Some of my professors actually tell us it's obligatory for a social worker to "always support the female" in a domestic violence situation. (Our program's version of the Power and Control Wheel is still not gender neutral.)

So, keeping in mind that I'd like to learn more about men's issues, and possibly help my profession move forward; do you all have any tips?
