Um... this feels somewhat evil. Don't take it wrong, but forcing guys to crossdress and give up their maleness just so they can visit universitiy is sick. This seems to have come out of a feminist terror-book. I really dislike the attitude to call normal male sexual behavior sexist or discrimmatory. It's not, it's just not female.
Argh... sorry, I just feel like pulling the Hammer of masculine wrath and justice from Hammerspace and clobber the heads of some soriorities.
I really pitty that guy. Something like this should happen to nobody... None the less a great caption with a sad story. I kind of wish he'd get back at them, or resist the brainwashing, or something, but it isn't to be ^^
Yeah, there's an undeniable amount of cruelty involved here. But then, the world is a very cruel place, at times, and worse things happen to young women at universities - and in general - with appalling regularity. I'm sure the women involved would say that they were simply trying to counterbalance the effect of centuries of rape and discrimination and other excesses of male power. However, the guy in the story wasn't responsible for any of that, and as they say, two wrongs don't make a right. However, after the initial upset, he does come to enjoy his time there, accept his new role, and he believes that he's performing an important role there - almost a spiritual one. He's helping women move on from the effects of sexism and create a new culture, and in the end, I think he's satisfied enough with his life. It may not be a happy ending per se, but it's happier than the ending a lot of people get.
I'm sure they never heard of the concept of the circle of violence. The whole concept of "male power" in itself is ridiculous at best and just a justification for discrimmination at worst. There is no such thing as a patriarchal dividend. One shouldn't forget that those who were most affected by that "male power" were male themselves - there were no female mine slaves. I really don't see this helping against sexism, it's just a symptom of a sexism with another target. Nobody must be punished for the deeds of their ancestors. You can only be punished for things you did yourself. One injustice won't balance another injustice, it'll just create more injustice. Actually I think the whole idea behind this is a good one, but it's done horribly. Bullying a person of now, for things that happened or not in the past as somekind of balance is ridiculous. He's not helping at all, if you don't count helping victims to become abusers themselves.
Sorry for ranting, but the pure idiocy and totalitarian ideology behind some of those ideas just triggered me ^^.
