Dr. Mary Albright will be teaching.

A six-week program offered at the University of Wisconsin-Madison aims to counter the effects of the societal expectation for men to be masculine.
The program centers on the premise that masculinity is primarily a societal construct rather than an intrinsic biological reality. Based on this premise, radical gender theorists argue that masculinity has a toxic influence on society.
The “Men’s Project” is a six-week program for male students that asks participants to reflect on the negative effects of the expectation to be masculine.

ReplyDeletemasculine enough. My faults had more to do with my sinful nature then my gender. My Govenor (positioning for a 2020 Presidential run is proposing free college for State U students.
