University of Texas to Treat Masculinity as a 'Mental Health' Issue

[PJMedia] The Counseling and Mental Health Center at the University of Texas at Austin recently launched a new program to help male students "take control over their gender identity and develop a healthy sense of masculinity."

Treating masculinity as if it were a mental health crisis, "MasculinUT" is organized by the school’s counseling staff and most recently organized a poster series encouraging students to develop a "healthy model of masculinity."

The program is predicated on a critique of so-called "restrictive masculinity." Men, the program argues, suffer when they are told to "act like a man" or when they are encouraged to fulfill traditional gender roles, such as being "successful" or "the breadwinner."
They just don't want any men competing in white collar market.

Why didn't you push that on 9/11? NYFD and NYPD could have avoided all those casualties. The oxygen must be really thin at UTA.

#6 Methinks the councilor staff was warned beforehand not to jeopardize the cash cows (i.e football program and such). Otherwise, go full retard!

#8 Act like a man typically means act like an adult. Stop crying and bitching constantly. Of course the university system that is turning men into women and or babies has issues.

#10 I'd say that is too far removed from the original intent of the charter. No further public funding until a program-by-program audit confirming core educational principles and cancelling non-core programs and initiatives.

#12 UT Austin is taking their steer mascot too literally.

Snark of the day contender.

(FYI - a 'steer' has had it's balls removed.)
