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.

Pppffff... I would ship pajama boy to daddy's in a New York minute. For some "toxic masculinity."

Eastwood was correct.

Today's young adults, are the puzzy generation.

they can try all they want.. but at the end of the day universities make money off of the so called male masculinity. Which is evident by the amount of money they pull in from their football games.

Ga. played Fl. last Saturday, 80,000 people in the stands. Million watching on T.V... generating millions in revenue.

try getting 80,000 people to sit in the stands to watch a chess match.

I watched an episode of Jersey Shore once since I thought I understood what someone was talking about when they mentioned "gweedo" but I was wrong.

...I'm not sure it's all that bad of an idea to purge some of that "toxic masculinity" crap.

I played WoW for a month with a friend of mine once.
He was into PvP. Nothing but rape and btchz and pwn and holy crap the objectification of women in chat.

IMO a lot of "masculinity" anymore isn't really "masculinity" it's children playacting an idea of what they think adult masculinity is.

Like when an 8 year old puts on a leather jacket, sticks a cigarette in his mouth, writes beer on his sippy cup, slaps his mom on the *** and tells her to make him a "sammich"

Role posturing for hierarchical influence and position.

Kids just adopting traits they don't understand in order to look like who they think they are supposed to be in the future, attempting to get adults to see the kid as an adult.

Only it's not 8 year old kids doing it, it's 18 year old adults doing it, and their parents failed to teach them anything in between.

...I think some of that crap needs to be "purged" by someone.
It has to be. It's a false sense of reality.
If parents aren't going to do it, government will.

You don't take responsibility for your rights and freedoms you will lose them.
You want to keep being bad parents, expect more interference and reindoctrination from schools and government programs.
