I am a feminist who has always supported gender equality. Hearing the stories from men will help in seeing the whole picture. This is the only way we can come to know the whole truth and truth will engender compassion.

Having a university curriculum that represents the struggles and issues that males also face, only fosters a more balanced dialogue on the overall discussions around gender, and ultimately, help to foster more balance within our society overall...

If we are claiming to be promoting Equality between the genders a course in Men's Studies is a requirement. Should also be a requirement to ANY Gender Studies Degree.

I am the founder of B.C. Soc. for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse and have spent 29 years healing the deep trauma my clients have experienced. This is part of the lives of a large portion of men.

This should actually be counted as a counter-signature; as a UBC student, I would be tremendously saddened if the school changed anything as a result of this petition.

It would nice to see representation and guidance for boys becoming masculine men.

It is only fair that with courses which only relate to womens-issues needs a suitable counterpart to discuss what men go through in society

This is self evident, and if it doesn't happen there must surely be a discriminatory policy standing in it's way.

Signed. Male Studies is desperately needed, particularly in a system when men are washing out. Nobody would disagree with that statement if it was any other group or demographic of students.

The only way to gender equality is actually equality. Shame on UBC

It is time men stood up for their rights! Feminists have been exploiting men left, right and centre. Let this be a start!

This is a great idea and it would go towards addressing the gender studies imbalance that has permeated academia
