Healthy Masculinity Week at Vanderbilt
The Womens Center at Vanderbilt University will sponsor a week-long series of events dedicated to telling men how to be masculine. "Healthy Masculinity Week" will feature a series of lectures and forums dedicated to showing men the error of their ways and, judging from some fo the topics, replacing traditional masculine values with male characteristics more amenable to feminists and other men-haters.

I wonder why they didn't invite Roosh to hold a seminar there

RE: Healthy Masculinity Week at Vanderbilt
This is so stunningly narcissistic and misguided it's almost comic.
First, the very idea that men are somehow damaged goods that need to be "fixed" is beyond belief. Who came up with this? Who are they to say masculinity is bad or good? Bad towards whom? Women? If so, guess that means men are here to serve their needs. So much for equality.
Second, why isn't this also being directed at women? Who says their "femininity" is healthy?
Has anyone ever stopped to think it's women's behavior that shapes masculinity, so maybe they're the problem? You don't want any more macho assholes around? Fine. Tell women to stop breeding with thugs. That's where you need to direct your seminars. Go to the source.
Masculinity will change when no thugs have sons and every nerd in silicon valley has ten kids. Only one gender can change that: the female one. Therefore, this entire series should be directed at getting them to change their instincts.
Finally, their push toward "gender equality" is not based on science -- which I thought liberals "fucking loved." The average IQ of men and women are about the same, but the reason men pull out ahead in almost all fields is because men have more "outliers" when it comes to high IQ. The reason the prisons and mental institutions are filled with men is because we also have more low outliers.
On top of that, women will always be the ones bearing children or wanting to bear children, which leads them down a different path in life. Give them all the education you want, but when they hear that baby cry, they're going to want to be with it. WHY anyone would want to alter mother's instincts in favor of making them worker bees is beyond me. Catholics attempted to alter people's instincts too with things like celibacy for priests. It didn't turn out well.
You'll never change the above, so you'll never get "gender equality." Liberals and feminists really hate science, especially as it relates to biology.

Gold, as always.
Just a few weeks ago it must've been anti-bullying week, and two women that I went to HS with (mediocrely attractive) posted rants against bullying, how their kids are now bullied. When we we were in HS, they were both constantly fucked by a couple of guys who constantly bullied smaller kids. Funny thing is, it was a friend who messaged me and pointed this out.
And I absolutely despise the "I fucking love science" meme, or whatever it is. This link explains it well:

Do fathers no longer teach their sons the basics in self-defense?
I can remember being 9 or 10 and my dad showing me some basic boxing/blocking moves and basic wrestling holds (he wrestled in college). Every rambunctious boy loves to learn that shit at that age.
I got taunted probably an average amount in school, which I just did my best to stoically ignore, but the minute it got physical, I *always* ended it then and there, to be thenceforth left alone.
"You have a right to self-defense," my dad used to say. (r.i.p.)
Can't argue with Natural Law.
When I hear mothers nowadays complain about "bullies" I just have to shake my head and wonder if there's a father in the picture.
An ineffectual father who is present is actually sadder than an absentee father.

I agree with what you are saying, and I was always able to defend myself, and was never picked on. I was always of average size, moderate athletic ability, and since I played sports was friends with bigger kids.
However I think there are a lot of boys who are smaller (or hit puberty later) and are much more inclined to get picked on. All the self defense in the world won't help them against an aggressive bigger kid who knows how to fight.
One of my proudest moments in HS was punching a few kids who were picking on a smaller kid. The smaller kid had done nothing wrong except for being a smaller human, and being a quiet introvert.
Point being is that not every man is capable of being "Alpha", which would negate the term anyway (just like how every woman is supposedly beautiful negates the term itself). Some men are going to be smaller, some are going to be more reserved. Sure, it is important to learn self defense, but it is also important to focus on working with the cards one has been dealt with, focusing on one's strengths, and improving weaknesses with realistic expectations depending on the individual.
In fact, I'd say it's "Alpha" to protect those kids who are physically weaker, invite them to the gym, and in return see if they'll help you with your computer science project.

From what I understand, whenever a fight breaks out in school, all parties (regardless of retaliation, victory, whatever) get arrested.
