This site recently was forwarded an email outlining the experiences of a student at the University of East Anglia in Norwich after he had called for a debate on having a Gender equality Officer at the student union. They currently have a women's officer ('surprise surprise as Cilla Black used to say) but no men's officer.
His experience is laid out clearly in his blog where 'surprise surprise' the accusation of misogyny is causally cast about as a fascist stick to silence debate.
This site has covered this type of issue before: Hull, Manchester and Oxford. Kentkept there's after a failed attempt at abolition though "the National Union of Student's Women's Movement has a problem with this."
As we know from experience in the UK and of course in the USA, hatred of men is a constant theme with many women becoming radicalised on campus (gender studies anyone?) to then go out into the wider world to preach the Marxist Feminist Gospel of women=good men=bad. They end up in governement as politicians or senior civil servants, enter quangos like the Equalities Commission or local authorities/police forces as oxymoronically called 'diversity officers'.
The experience in the University of East Anglia is a salient reminder of the danger.
