A lawyer accused a university in 2008 of misusing federal aid because he claimed that Women and Gender Studies discriminates against men. Clearly this man does not understand that females cannot be studied inclusively without studying males. As a student in the USU Women and Gender Studies program, I can testify to having spent many classes cover men, masculinity and related issues.
From the article:
"The courses pretty much treat guys as if they're sources of evil in the world and the women are the victims," Den Hollander said. "I'm using the same argument here as we have with Title IX. When a university receives government funding, they have to provide equal opportunities for men and women. If there's no men's studies, women's studies is unconstitutional."
He also calls feminism a religion that is "spread." Religion does not fit into the definition of feminism by pure logic and court case precedents. Also, patriarchy is a rule in most of modern and ancient societies, where women were/are the victims. His statement essentially denies this accepted truth in an overtly sexist manner.
