TRENDING: Universities work to purge male students of their ‘toxic’ masculinity

[residue]

Here's what "higher education" is doing to our kids. Turning them into a society full of metrosexual sissies  that will infiltrate our military making our country weaker than they are.

Universities across the nation are taking steps to actively purge male students of what’s been labeled “toxic masculinity.”

Examples abound of campuses hosting training sessions, group meetings, lectures and other programs to effectively cleanse what many campus leaders and left-leaning scholars contend is an unhealthy masculinity in young men today.

On campus, toxic masculinity is often blamed for sexual violence, body shaming, a “hyper-masculinized sporting culture,” acts of domestic terrorism and much more.



For example, a class at Dartmouth College this semester, “The Orlando Syllabus,” identifies so-called toxic masculinity as playing a role in the mass murder spree at a Florida club during the summer. This despite the fact that the gunman, Omar Mateen, told police on the phone as he committed the massacre he did it on behalf of ISIS.

Other instances of combating toxic masculinity on campus can be found at both the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and Duke University, which launched programs specifically designed for male students to delve into “violent masculinity” and “healthier masculinity” and discuss issues like gender fluidity.

“How has the concept of masculinity contributed to the perpetration of violence in our society?” asks the UNC Men’s Project website.

Duke University started a similar program this semester for male students to reflect on topics such as patriarchy, male privilege, rape culture, pornography, machismo and “the language of dominance,” Fox News reported.

At a mandatory freshmen orientation training at Gettysburg College in August, male students had to watch a documentary which stated in part that the “three most destructive words” a boy can hear growing up is “be a man.” The freshmen also went through breakout sessions in which they were told mass shooting sprees are rooted in toxic masculinity.

The “Thrive” club, part of the Claremont colleges consortium which meets as a “safe space” to talk about mental health, advertises that “masculinity can be extremely toxic to our mental health, both to the people who are pressured to preform it and the people who are inevitably influenced by it.”

The group refuses to disclose the contents of its discussions due to “confidentiality concerns,” but students who attended one of the sessions reported that there was “a common consensus that masculinity is harmful both to those who express it and those affected by it,” the Claremont Independent reported.

Various promotional videos promoting health masculinity advocate challenging “the traditional norms of what we envision masculinity to be” by recognizing “male privilege.” Goals touted through the education include undoing a legacy of “harm, oppression and dominance.”

This trend did not emerge over night. Last year, Vanderbilt University hosted “Healthy Masculinities Week,” led in part by Jackson Katz, the first man to minor in women studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Katz criticized actors such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone for their muscular physiques, which have gotten “larger” over the years. According to the presentation, “hyper-masculinized sporting culture” has also advanced unhealthy masculinity.

odds are if they're going to college,  they're not signing up to be cannon fodder. don't worry they're enough ghetto kids and folks that dress like john cena(unironically) to keep the us military strong

Enough of this crap, real men need to speak up and defend themselves just like women have done for the last couple decades.

The pendulum is about to swing the other way. In a few years we won't be hearing any more of this effeminate drivel...

Honestly, it has been around for a while now and gaining popularity and acceptance because liberals and liberal thinking dominate secondary and collegiate education....also the media.  Men (and non-extreme liberal women) must speak up, that is the only way to halt this from becoming the norm indoctrinating kids.  Those of you who question this need to realize what they are teaching at universities and the extreme liberal thinking and atmosphere that is being pushed.  It is much worse than even 10-20yrs ago.  This has nothing to do with right wing shit either.

So masculinity is toxic, but feminity isn't?  That's incredibly sexist and they can stuff that attitude up their vaginas. Oh wait thats a masuline attitude... This comes from feminist misanthropist ideology, which is incredibly misguided.

They's never been a female dominated modern society so it's actually impossible to say empirically that femininity is toxic. Every one of the world's man made tragedy has been well.. man made.

Really? Ancient cultures that predated so called patriarchal societies and there a couple of smaller cultures. The point is masculinity isnt toxic.

I have always encouraged college girls to help me purge my toxic masculinity.

Being a man means that you're not emotionally reactive to trivial things, or really anything that would fuck with your zen. No one should have real estate in your head if you're a real man. All those school shooters were the last thing that you'd use to define what a man really is.

Metrosexuality... whatever. Let people dress themselves up. I take care of myself, but I do it for myself because I like looking and feeling good. You won't find me plucking my brows and putting on make up to accent my cheek bones, but if guys wanna do that, whatever. They're not competing for what I'm competing for. Real men, if there are any left, are in a class all their own. They should be competing with themselves if they're real men. They also shouldn't be preying on others too.

Eckhart Tolle put it best: "Power over others is weakness disguised as strength". People don't even know what a real man is or what masculinity is. Let them fear and criticize. Unless you're out there bird chesting (which is not manly and a huge show of insecurity), then you have no problem. Be a man. Keep quite. Let the social justice warriors lose sleep. Fuck the captain of the cheerleading team and do your own thing.

Feminism is basically a form of virility filled with oestrogen, fat and mood swing, so it's a failure.

Women with authority (at work, in relationship) = madness = disaster.

In my job it was a disaster, and everyday i can see relationship where the man is castrated, it's awful.

Very Strange That some have a hard time accepting this basic Fact.

I'm retired now but I've almost never had a problem working with and for women. The one exception was a gay woman who was hired for a job that I applied for and was far more qualified for. She was completely insane. After two years, her bosses figured this out and she was gone. When I was offered her job, I declined and retired instead.
