    Imagine retreats for young women to contemplate on how their femininity negatively effects society.

    Our tax dollars are paying for this.

    Unbelievable.

    Will these college women be impacted when they have to get 5 or 6 sorority "sisters" to move that sofa bed couch into their dorm room instead of just getting 2 "masculine" fraternity bros to do it for them?

    This is not the type of course that I would have elected in college, but apparently there are those who find it of value, whereas others may be threatened by it. The problem with this sort of offering is that, usually, those who could benefit the most are the least likely to take it.

    The same people who decry these college courses don't even blink when Donnie Trump calls for a needless new multi-billion dollar arms race. How sick is that?

    But, there are a few de facto rules that just don't have to be written down.

    For example...

    ...don't be this person as he is not really a man...

    Why do you get to choose who is and who isnt a man? And by which criteria do you choose this?

    And if a college receiving tax payer funds has 20 classes on feminism and 3 on why guys suck, you see no problem with that? Regardless if they're electives. You see no problem in that at all?

    Conservatives think you need a giant beer gut and a bunch of guns to be a man. I've been called a liberal sissy. I'm fit. I have abs. I can run marathons. All of this with an ileostomy. And despite all of this I'm called a sissy by conservatives because I care about people.
    I say just ignore those people

    I'm not here to have people flood a thread with their insecurities.

    I'm just arguing kids deserve a balanced curriculum in college, especially if there's tax payer dollars involved.

    And the strengths and weaknesses of both masculinity and femininity should be embraced. That would be higher education.

    Athletics doesn't count, for either sex.

    You know what a good conservative solution to this would be? Offer alternatives to these universities. Higher education without the liberal nonsense. In fact, we have that to some extent now - you can attend, say, a private university, perhaps even a religious one, and avoid this crap. You can also check out the various state universities and compare their campus cultures before you decide on one, thereby again avoiding the nonsense. Vote with your feet and your dollars.

    No one is forced to attend any given university or college. There are ample choices.

    Great advice! Is there a list of schools ranked by "balanced curriculum"?

    I disagree. If you're a fat slob who can't do much physical activity you're not much of a man.

    I asked you what your criteria is for determining if someone "is a man" And you give me some crap about a duck. Thats not an answer. Its an evasion.

    Are you called a sissy online or in person? I suspect it's the former, where you carry on like, well, a sissy. Abs and marathons won't change that.

    You realize "masculinity should be embraced, not shamed" has nothing to do with "what is a man"?

    One of the problems in communication in America is a lot of people jump to argue what they read into something, vs what is actually said.

    It makes honest dialogue impossible between the 2 parties.

    If you choose to be a metrosexual, and it's obvious that you have, it's easy for any normal thinking person to believe that said "person" has turned in their man card.
