In this post, he writes about how the men speak in his women’s studies class:

…two of the guys did something that I see over and over again from men in women’s studies classes. They prefaced their remarks by joking “I know I’m going to get killed for saying this, but…” One of them, even pretended to rise from his desk to position himself by the door, saying that “Once I say this, I know I’m going to have to make a run for it.” Most of the women laughed indulgently, and I even found myself grinning along.

his behavior reflects two things: men’s genuine fear of being challenged and confronted, and the persistence of the stereotype of feminists as being aggressive “man-bashers.”

no man is in any real physical danger

from feminists

Women are regularly beaten and raped

but I know of no instance where a man found himself a victim of violence for making a sexist remark in a college feminist setting!

Male-bashing” doesn’t literally happen

doesn’t stop men from using

fear of

violence

point about feminists
