They Think They Are Outnumbered, One To Nine

The University of Chicago has a new organization on campus – Men In Power, a group formed to help males get ahead professionally.

In case you needed to hear it, there are protests coming out of the woodwork against this group.

In a stunningly ironic and hilarious section of the article, the author quotes from members of two of the nine women’s advocacy groups on campus regarding this group – the sole male advocacy group.

“Jessica Pan, president of Women in Business and a fourth-year student, questioned whether Men in Power's goals were being met by existing student groups."

"I'm not sure we really need another student organization that focuses on pre-professional development for men," Pan said, noting that, in just the area of business, there were five or six students groups that were gender-neutral."

(and yet she is completely comfortable with nine other organizations that focus on women)

Back to the article

"Similarly, Ali Feenstra, a third-year student and a member of the Feminist Majority, questioned Men in Power's utility."

"It's like starting 'white men in business' -- there's not really any purpose," she said.”

(wow, racist and sexist)

I am sure those two had no idea they sound so feeble, especially with most of the recent job losses hitting men hardest, and women earning most of the bachelor's and master's degrees currently.
