Top universities develop programs meant "to purge toxic masculinity". "Many college students...believe that masculinity is the root cause of sexual violence, body shaming, and terrorism". "The programs...set up safe spaces for male students to contemplate the toxicity of their manliness".

That sounds like emotional abuse.

So...self loathing stations for straight men?

slice_of_pi · 2016-11-14T16:42:59+00:00

I'm laying a marker on this one now: the men who take part in this are going to also be ones that wouldn't typically be considered to have a problem being too manly as it is.

Mythandros · 2016-11-14T16:29:21+00:00

So.. They set up spaces to shame, minimize and demonize men? Why are we surprised by this? These schools are basically run by feminists. Feminists are hateful assholes. Of course they are going to try to spread that hate. Feminism is literally a disease and once bitten, you can't help but try to spread the disease.

Body shaming and terrorism in the same sentence. Fuck this gay earth.

Religion no that has nothing to do with terrorism. Its masculinity that is the problem. Fuck these people

Shaming is a thing women do to each other. I'd say more so than men.

Body shaming.

Let me think, which gender body shames women ....

They could talking about the fact that blokes don't want to have sex with whales

Planner_Hammish · 2016-11-15T06:52:56+00:00

Lol, I thought I was on the onion, then nottheonion...

I find it ironic nonetheless; at first men had their own space, let's call it the pub. It was "safe", where men could talk about manly things. Then some women felt left out and demanded they be lets in to see what the fuss was about. Those women generally didn't like what they saw, but instead of opening their own establishment, they sought to impose changes on what already existed. More and more changes were demanded until one day, the men didn't really want to go anymore. The women didn't like that, because they felt like the men should like and embrace all the changes to the pub. So they start hen pecking their men. Eventually one gets the idea to make all the men sit in a room with other men to think about it sans women...

Edit: spelling due to auto"correct"

wmeredith · 2016-11-14T18:53:40+00:00

Not sure how well this will fly here, but if you actually dig through all the sensationalist media and read the actual goals of the programs (at least the one at Duke) they aren't unreasonable. They say masculinity is a critical component of our society, but there are certain toxic aspects of it that keep men from seeking help with things like depression and other mental illnesses because they may be perceived as weak. Other negative aspects of masculinity may cause males to internalize stress leading to unhealthy relationships. I agree both of these are real problems.

The whole safe space angle is to allow men to talk about this stuff with each other without women around who may judge them and their attitudes toward modern masculinity. Source: http://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2016/09/engendering-gender-harmony

The War Against Boys was a great book 15 years ago. I may need to read it again. I recommend it to anyone looking for a defense against this kind of propaganda.

From a different angle, female sexual predators and female perpetrators of domestic violence are / seem differently motivated most of the time. Without getting into the specifics (unless someone is interested in discussing it), sexual battery is really shitty for many reasons and there is nothing so categorically different between being a victim of a female perp or male perp, and the experience isn't terribly different for the victim (male or female).

Social perception, stereotypes, and media portrayal of male vs. female perps is a different matter.

I bought into horse shit feminism for a long time and it took a lot of good friends and bad relationships to even begin recovery. I'm sure their defense will be "we don't hate masculinity entirely, we just think some parts are toxic (and responsibile for all evil in the world)". Awesome, me too! At the same time I will keep advocating people stop preaching the parts of ferminism that are horse shit, elitist, pseudo-intellectual sexism masquerading as egalitarianism.

McFeely_Smackup · 2016-11-15T05:06:56+00:00

Net result:

Metro sexual, sensitive and feminist males will flock to the propaganda and toe the line to be the "Good Men" women are demanding they be.

Then those same women will send their calls to voicemail because their busy fucking the frat boys and football teams players....oh, you're gonna wait it out and un friendzone when she gets dumped? hah, sorry...drunken hookup with the underage tolerant off campus bar is already queued up.

If a woman tells you "This is what you need to do to be 'a man'", by fucking all things you hold holy, you better do the fucking opposite. What they stand up and say they want is WAY way different from that they bend over and say they want.

Organized self-criticism sessions are used by cults and communist regimes to break down their victims' self-image and independent identity, making them susceptible to control.

Is there also a program to purge "toxic femininity"?

Equality works both ways.

Vordreller · 2016-11-14T20:06:43+00:00

And the reason they came to believe this is unsubstantiated claims from the easily outraged.

Not really a solid foundation for anything.

JackGetsIt · 2016-11-15T01:09:23+00:00

Anyone that can look me in the eye and say with a straight face that toxic masculinity exists and toxic femininity doesn't is incredibly daft and should be put out to drift on a patch of ice in the middle of the ocean never to interact with other humans again.

Men can have men-only spaces, but only if they use them to emasculate themselves.

The goal of feminism has always been to emasculate males. If you look at millennial males, they are very feminine in their mannerisms and thinking.

So now when a group of students start a club at their university in which membership is voluntary it's a "university program". Fucking lol. Conservatives are so hellbent determined to push this narrative the colleges exist to turn students into self hating white communists when it's the exact opposite. Maybe you'd know that if you attended one.
