Men In Power
Men in Power is a student organization at the University of Chicago (also on Facebook) that promises to help men get ahead professionally. As sure as night follows day, critics are charging that its premise is misogynistic and serves no purpose. Well who could have predicted that?
Founder Steve Saltarelli, the president of Men in Power:
"The group would not be against or in any way attempt to inhibit the advancement of women. We would simply advocate for men in the same manner that female groups advocate for women. Anyone with an interest in both studying and learning from men in powerful positions, as well as issues involved with reverse sexism, may become a member of MiP."
Read the comments that follow the article too. Although true misogyny is rare nowadays, sadly misandry is commonplace.
