It's the same attitude we see around here from some DUers who see no need for a Mens Group.. and this is some real crap:

The Women’s Centre would, however, support a men’s centre on one condition, and I paraphrase: if the men used the centre to admit to their gender crimes.

Well, that's nice of them..

Admit to gender crimes? What crimes would those be...being born male? Must be like acknowledging your "male privilege"..I see demands for that from time to time...
