Should Universities Have Men’s Studies Programs?

This morning we discovered that in April, a college in Staten Island will be hosting a symposium on “Male Studies,” leading up to a larger conference next fall. The announcement includes this line:

“…the growing problem of misandry—the hatred of males, an unacknowledged but underlying socio-cultural, economic, political and legal phenomenon endangering the well-being of both genders.”

This was the first we’d heard of “misandry.” Are we alone? Do we think that there’s a growing hatred of males that’s endangering our well-being? We may be feminists, but we love men! Thoughts?
