Fundamentalists and feminist activists have one thing in common: They both use Brain Washing Techniques. Both guilt-trip others. Both assault others’ identities. Both seek mind control over others. Both attempt to break down and then reconstruct others. And while there are differences between fundamentalist and feminist ideologies, both set up Manichean binaries that divide the world along good/evil logics.

Such is the mission by feminists in creating Duke University’s Men’s Project – the equivalent of fundamentalists establishing a Gay Conversion Project. As the Duke feminist project seeks to deconstruct and then reconstruct males, its activists want to use brain washing techniques to purge men of their “toxic masculinity.” That is, to deconstruct young men, feminists promise to tear apart male identity until it is in shatters, thereby seeking to rebuild a new person who must betray his very masculinity. At the ugly center of this Men’s Project is the belief that masculinity is monolithic and monstrous – a false and vicious approach to “helping” young men. In contrast, the diversity and dynamic nature of masculinities could not be further from this lie.

If the Men’s Project at Duke will not be seriously and academically challenged for its unsavory use of Conversion Therapy, then the program should be legally challenged for its civil rights violations – assuming that the Women’s Center is funded by federal and state monies.
