Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Gretchen Krull" <>]

I am interested in others thoughts on the growing number of articles on
boys and men.  I am frightened by the current trend which in so many
words says that we have gone too far with supporting women; men have
suffered so now we need to focus on men by taking away from women.  We
see this in the following current issues- taking away choices related to
our bodies; colleges accepting fewer females to give men a greater
chance in admissions; taking away money for girls in math and sciences
at the elementary and high schools because boys are not thriving in
schools; students grabbing on the rhetoric of men such as Harvey
Mansfield in "Manliness" (which claims that women have taken away men's
manliness and thy need to reclaim it! 

 I particular, I would be interested in hearing from men who have been
working on men's issues as I feel this trend is not working towards a
more equitable society, but is backlash.  How do we work to get change
that will provide for the needs of both men and women without putting
the other down?
