Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Should universities allow Men's rights?

First want to thank whoever it was that posted the link to the article from the good men project about educating boys about sex and to lessen any impact from porn. Been reading different aspects of the website as a mother and a woman and while some of the articles I have struggled with but this is the one that has been discussed most here

Synopsis is about the lack of Men's groups at university and the fact that some universities have blocked them. We probably have all read about Toronto and the running battle between feminists and mens rights. So with male studies looking like it will appear in 2014 somewhere in the world do we fight against groups starting? I am interested as hopefully both my boys will go into higher education.

My opinion if we stop men having groups at uni then feminism is not about equality but about supremacy.

Ok sad TV with the kids so may not get back to this till tomorrow but wanted to post it as I have been talking about this with the boys for a large chunk of the afternoon.

Interesting as supporting dads is part of the 3rd men and boys conference later this year. I can only assume that they are going to be discussing what they see as an issue.

I'm all for supporting Dads. The question is, are Dads supporting their kids? And are dads supporting mums?

You can't have your wife take full or most of the responsibility for childcare while you are married and then play the victim when the court awards her custody in the event of a separation.

When men take part equally in childcare, I will support equal rights in custody arrangements. Until then they can continue to whine about what they perceive is an issue.
