Male Advocacy Group Created at University of Chicago

with 2 comments

Female advocacy groups are active all around the nation, but have you ever heard of a male advocacy group?

Well, that is exactly what a group of students just started up at the University of Chicago, according to a report by the Chicago Tribune.  The leader of the group, Steve Saltarelli, created the group basically by accident.  After writing a satirical piece, he received a great deal of interest from other students in creating a mens-advocacy group.  Men in Power was created.

As the group continues to gain steam both on Facebook and on the campus itself, it has raised a bunch of questions among people all around the country.  Do men really need an advocacy group?  In the report, students have questioned whether there is any point to creating such a group.

Do you believe male advocacy groups have a part in student organizations on college campuses?
