I don't really get what this is

pretty cool that there is an option for freshman and sophmores to take internships. I would love to see this as a highschooler.

I wish this place said more about where you go, but the rest sounds pretty cool!

seems like the clear best faculty member

not going to read this but good to have

this feels like way to much information all though it does highlight how many classes there are especially on the front page of it

aha here it is — this should be less hidden

this didn't exactly convince me because I don't think it was specific enough on what I'd actually be doing after college

the problem is that this english major and minors checklist doesn't tell me anything about what the classes actually are, when I feel like the department should be proud about their course offerings and be putting them front and center.

this photo section below this is kinda offputting and strange I wish it was more artsy

this is an important thing that sticks out to me

it's not easy to see where the classes would be for English majors and minors. I feel like this should be where that is but it is not.

Not to hate on teaching... but I think for someone that doesn't know what they want to take in school and is looking at English as a broad major to take, this fits into the "all you can do with an English degree is teach narrative"

I feel like this should jump out at me more. In the mind of this reader I think I'd really be skimming — and this sort of bland text with a common phrase I'd probably jump right over / not think about twice. I think that this is an important part of what an english degree is though.

Effective. As someone unsure of what they want to do this makes me feel good about choosing Santa Clara English if I enjoyed the classes.

women and men need to go back to caveman days because all of this is to complicated for this author's little brain.

Women need to chil out with the whole "adulting" and "working" thing so men have something to do with their lives.

But what about everything else you just said? Now men are simple sex machines?

Is that how basic men are? All they want is a submissive women and to be head of the household? Actual scientific studies say otherwise but I haven't written any books yet so what would I know?

Oh no! What will poor little men do without a wife to take care of the housework?

Thank you for clarifying as that made literally no sense without it. Who edited this for you?

Is this an objective view? It sounds more like bull shit but that is also my own subjective view.

The author claims that because women are not submissive little frilly creatures who take care of their husbands, that men no longer want to marry them.

The author claims that with women working and becoming educated, men are less interested in marrying them.

Perfectly said! Men's liberation is just as important as the women's liberation was.

Feminism (and men's liberation) aim to place blame on the patriarchal system, while meninism places blame on women.

The author demonstrates how important men's liberation is to our society. Similarly, the meninist movement is a product of this. While women were liberated from gender roles, our male counterparts weren't so lucky. Due to this, many men blame women, but what they don't understand is that they to, can get off their asses and fight for something they believe in.

Umm maybe because those "chortles" encourage violence and all together stupidity? Just a thought...

So the author describes feminism negatively due to a few misandrists, yet asks his readers not to do the same to a movement that advocates violence against women. Both feminism and meninism have valid views, along with misguided followers.

We're all vain and shallow, it's impossible to be completely free from these qualities.While the original meninist movement had actual goals, the parody of it is a joke. All it does is reinforce harmful stereotypes.

While recently the meninist movement is relatively new to mainstream media, it started as a legit branch off from feminism.

This could be because in a way the men's rights advocates are admitting to feminine traits. This is still frowned upon even in Western cultures.

This is disgusting. Rape is not something anyone should take lightly, it is a serious charge and I doubt that this quote is true. What should be addressed instead is how to teach boys not to rape and how college boards can make campus safer for women. Women aren't the only ones getting raped either.

That doesn't make it okay for them to spew women hate and shoot up schools. While it is important to help these people, it is also important to not ignore the severity of their actions. No matter how hurt a person is, they have the choice to act violently or peacefully. It is not okay to react violently no matter the situation and as a society we need to make this clear.

This is the anti-feminist branch of the men's liberation movement. This should show the importance of feminism in the men's liberation movement. Without it the group is just promoting women-hate, which obviously doesn't solve anything. In turn, this should show the opposite side of the movement that the feminism movement is the same way. While you have your crazy men haters and bra burners, you also have those regular people who value human life. These are the people fighting for both rights, same as the pro-feminist men's liberation fighters.

Then that's not feminism.

This is probably because of the stereotype of hyper masculinity that men are expected to portray. Some of those traits are aggressiveness, and dominance which can lead to violence.

But there is a gender studies class which covers both. Is it really necessary to have an individual men's studies?

Feminist teachings are helpful to avoid this. By empowering feminine aspects in men and women, men's liberation and feminism are both benefiting.

Feminism isn't the problem here, If anything, feminism does more to advance the Men's Rights Movement that anything. It allows men to show their feminine traits without ridicule. By fighting against feminism you are fighting against equality.

While the author makes a valid point here, that men and women are both unequal to each other in different ways, he fails to notice that the patriarchy does exist. It is a system made to benefit men through their careers, but hurts them in the way that it provides strict gender roles and impossible standards.

This could be due to troubled family life and relationships due to involvement in work and pressures of hyper masculinity.

Although men face disadvantages in today's society, one could argue that they created these disadvantages for themselves. They declared that women were weak and unintelligent, therefore they stay at home with the family. A counter argument for this could also be that times have changed for women and now it should be time for men to also be liberated.

While ideals are shifting, work policies aren't reflecting that. Due to this, men have a hard decision to make regarding family life or their career.

The men's decision may be better for the long run financially, it causes them to miss out on important moments in their children's lives.

Even though they'd like to have an egalitarian relationship with their spouse, many men have come to the conclusion that traditional roles work best to keep the family unit functioning.
