Examples abound of campuses hosting training sessions, group meetings, lectures and other programs to effectively cleanse what many campus leaders and left-leaning scholars contend is an unhealthy masculinity in young men today.
On campus, toxic masculinity is often blamed for sexual violence, body shaming, a "hyper-masculinized sporting culture," acts of domestic terrorism and much more.
For example, a class at Dartmouth College this semester, "The Orlando Syllabus," identifies so-called toxic masculinity as playing a role in the mass murder spree at a Florida club during the summer. This despite the fact that the gunman, Omar Mateen, told police on the phone as he committed the massacre he did it on behalf of ISIS.
Other instances of combating toxic masculinity on campus can be found at both the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and Duke University, which launched programs specifically designed for male students to delve into "violent masculinity" and "healthier masculinity" and discuss issues like gender fluidity.
"How has the concept of masculinity contributed to the perpetration of violence in our society?" asks the UNC Men's Project website.
Comment: It's hard to tell whether or not such a letter is authentic. It's possible that the letter was written by a resentful refugee as an outlet for frustration, even though he never says in the letter that he personally participated in the destruction or vandalizing of property. It's also possible the letter was written by a sock-puppet who wants to drum up anti-refugee sentiment. In any case, the responsibility belongs to the media in the content it publishes, knowing how the public will respond. The content of the letter is not representative of the population of refugees as a whole and so it should be considered in that light.
Refugees do have a social obligation to abide by their hosts rules and norms. And likewise, given the West's support for the destruction of refugees homes and society, the hosts at the very least also have an obligation to provide suitable accommodations.
