‘Lesson made it seem like masculinity was an unacceptable human trait’

Gettysburg College freshman James Goodman began his first moments of higher education by being lectured by campus leaders about “toxic masculinity,” he tells The College Fix in an interview.

Students who “identify as male” were shown a docudrama film about masculinity. The film, titled “The Mask You Live In,” was part of the lessons warning students that the notion of masculinity comes with harmful side effects, he said.

What an irony that this issue should arise where the greatest battle ever on this continent was fought.  People weren't talking about "toxic masculinity" in 1863 at Gettysburg College.

Is it still Ok to tell a guy "Don't be a bleep"? And did they include Dykes in the lesson about masculinity?

Gettysburg College freshman James Goodman told The College Fix that, following the film, the group of students engaged in a small discussion about how the film made them feel. Additionally, the student moderators “attempted to tie Sandy Hook and the Aurora shooting into being a result of toxic masculinity,” Goodman said.

Both of those shooters were about as far from "masculine" as they could have been.
