Why no Male Studies?

Daniel de Vise:

Lots of colleges have Women's Studies departments. Some pursue Gender Studies. What about Men's Studies?

I was just alerted to a web site that announces the following:

A gathering of academicians drawn from a range of disciplines will meet on April 7, 2010, at Wagner College, Staten Island, New York, to examine the declining state of the male, stemming from cataclysmic changes in today's culture, environment and global economy.

At first I wondered if it was a joke. Evidently it is not.

The colloquium will be led by Lionel Tiger, an anthropology professor at Rutgers University.
