To “promote the advancement of gender equity, and raise consciousness in their communities.”

More and more, colleges and universities across the country are offering workshops on how to remove toxic masculinity from its campuses. The University of Wisconsin-Madison started offering such a program in the fall of 2016 and in February, the second “Men’s Project” retreat is slated to begin.
Organizers believe the workshop “creates a space for critical self-reflection and dialogue about what it means to be a man and how masculinity impacts us and those around us.”
“The experience focuses on the examination of societal images, expectations, and messages around masculinity to empower men to better understand themselves, promote the advancement of gender equity, and raise consciousness in their communities.”
Just like
Duke University men’s project, UWM “operates on a transformative model of social justice allyship.” Oddly enough, this particular workshop is not open to males, per se, but “only men-identified students.” Also, much of the retreat's lessons are organized by female “violence prevention specialist” Sam Johnson.
“A key element of the program is intersectionality. There isn’t just one masculinity; there are many,” she said.

However, McGlone indicated that there hadn't been a single incident on UWM’s campus that sparked the need for such a program.
But hey, this is what a modern education looks like: neutered.
