Why isnt men's studies offered at my college?

Question

all they have is women's studies..

Answer 1

Because women for some reason need to be justified that they are somehow worth studying beyond a man...just like any 'protected' group.

Answer 2

The primary reason is that we live in a liberal society which supports liberal interests such as post-modern feminism (despite the fact that it's an atrociously destructive force).

Additionally, men don't need to be studied, we're simple.  Anatomically we can be studied in Graduate Medical School.  Virtually all other disciplines are gender neutral.  Similarly, there was no course offered at my undergrad school for female crocodile or male crocodile stuidies as this was irrational; Zoology was sufficient for coverage of all Families and classes or Kindom Animalia.  Formal study of a single species is certainly inappropriate at the undergrad level, not even at the post-grad level.  Only after one has obtained a Doctorate and published extensively can one dedicate his or her life to the study of a single species.  No researcher studies a single gender of a given species in isolation, it's senseless.

Answer 3

there are not men's studies offered in any college and the reason why is because femenists don't want to because that would mean a cure for men's illnesses and those underworld creatures don't want us to be cure

Answer 4

We are usually not interested on that :P

Answer 5

Perhaps you should start a class, once you have your degree.

Answer 6

Maybe we already know all there is to know about men.

Answer 7

Because it might get out that it is actually men who are discriminated against and that would undermine womens studies and the feminst movement. For example -

Its all about a mothers rights, but no fathers rights. The new family unit is now defined as a mother and her children.

Women being treat like princesses in prison and men being treat like animals. Female prison guards humiliate and degrade men, but female prisoners get privacy and respect from male prison guards.

Bodily choice for women, but forced genital mutilation for baby boys, referring to womens rights to their bodies in terms of abortion, but boys being circumcised without choice.

Female reporters allowed in men’s locker rooms, but privacy and respect for female athletes. Very strange definition of equality that feminsim was very vocal about as being equal rights. Is this an example of the respect that feminists claim MEN dont have for WOMEN?

Its women getting everything in a divorce, and men being torn away from their children

Female s*x offenders being slapped on the wrist, but male s*x offenders being incarcerated the rest of their lives

Its men being sentenced to more time for the same crime than women. This can be reserached under the US government and shows that women dont get held accountable to the level that men do.

Its a feminized education system that cripples natural behavior of boys, makes being male a crime in school, then girls claiming they are smarter.

Why is it when two people under the age of consent have s*x, only the boy is charged with doing something wrong?

Its women being allowed to drown five children and using the fact she is a woman to get away with it - Andrea Yates

Its women being allowed to use domestic violence as an excuse to murder a sleeping husband, even though there is no evidence of domestic abuse - Mary Winkler

Its the extensive abuse of restraining orders to villify an innocent man and get leverage in a divorce.

Its men being jailed for defending themselves against an abusive wife, but called a wimp if he takes the abuse

Its women demanding respect from men, but never having to respect them in return

Its women having the choice between abortion, adoption, dropping an unwanted baby off at a hospital, raising the child with a father, or raising the child without a father, but the only choice men have is to agree.

Its 3 innocent Duke Lacrosse players losing their lives because we dont ever think a woman could lie about rape - let alone prosecute her for doing so.

Its women labeling men as abusive when the US government has shown women cause more child abuse than men.

Its female rape being horrendous, but male rape being funny and made in to comedy movies. Male rape is a legally accepted part of the justice system, but only against men.

Its just about every TV show being allowed to humiliate and degrade men, but women complaining and calling it sexist if they were treated the same.

It’s more health care spending going towards women’s health than mens.Breast cancer receives 7 times the funding of prostate cancer. There are three departments of womens health in the US government, but none for men. However, men live an average of 5 years less than women when the genders used to have the same life span.

Its allowing women only clubs and banning men only clubs

It’s doing everything we can to help girls in math and science, but letting boys fall further behind in everything else.

It’s defining equal pay for equal work as men playing five sets of tennis, but women only playing three. Maybe women claiming 3=5 is the reason for the above point

Its cutting men’s sports in college in favor of women’s sports that have no interest

Its female murderers being mentally ill, but male murderers just being evil

Its claiming men walk out on their family when its actually women who file 80% of divorces

Its men being portrayed as evil, stupid or buffoons on TV and all women being perfect or superior.

Its women wanting equality for their gender, but men being called chauvinist pigs when they want equality for their gender

Its fixing the education system when girls are failing, and blaming the boys when boys are failing

Its women being allowed to level false accusation against an innocent man without consequence. Read Duke Lacrosse and many other examples. Feminism has installed this right to women through the courts.

Its a man being a chauvanist, sexist pig when he doesnt respect women, but a women who doesnt respect men is an admirable, strong and independant woman.

Its feminists not being able to provide one example of legal discrimination against women today

Answer 8

Far as society is concerned, everything other then women's studies is men's studies...

Answer 9

I'd say it isn't for the same reason that neither women's studies nor men's studies was offered at my BS/MS school. . . lack of interest.

If you really think there should be such courses, find some other interested people and take it up with the administration.  I'm sure that's why you have courses in women's studies available -- predecessors pushed for it.

Answer 10

There is. It's called "The History of Western Civilization." It's made up of books written pretty much by white European Christian men all about their own exploits.

Answer 11

Because society has disregarded men in order to turn women into a protected class.

Answer 12

Why are you asking us? Ask your Dean, or head of the Humanities Dept.

A REAL college student would know this.

Answer 13

Actually many universities are changing the name of their women's studies programs to gender studies because there is a need to focus on both genders (and some universities do offer men's studies).  The big misconception is that women's studies solely focus on women.  This is not true!  Women's studies classes focus on gender issues (both men' and women's issues).  These classes focus on the differences between genders, and the similarities.  They analyze how gender is developed and how stereotypes affect the raising of children (something that affects both men and women)  In fact,  we always wanted more men in our class to have a more balanced perspective.

If you interested in gender, take a class or talk to one of the women's studies professors.  You may find that the classes aren't as women-centered as you think.

Answer 14

Your college probably already has way too many inane, mind-wasting humanities courses on offer.

Answer 15

Because men have no desire on how to learn victimization 101.

Answer 16

I don't know that they could fill a whole semester of "Men's Studies"

Sorry, women are more complicated creatures.

Answer 17

Men's studies aren't offered at any university as far as I know.  If there was, it would only last half of one semester(fall or spring).  We're not that complicated.
