    Yes so the chances are she's either incompetent or a sick man hater. I'd say the former would be 1,000 more preferable than the latter.

    Just saying we have to give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

    probably both. shes also gaining financially from her 'NUS Womans Officer' role.

    from what I've been reading the NUS is funded by the 'NUS Extra' card (£10), gives free cinema tickets and that sort of nonsense.

    I wonder wether male university students would carry on funding the NUS if they knew the truth that they were being demonized as potential rapists and violent abusers, just because some man-hating woman could create a job for herself.

    Here's her blog:

    http://www.officeronline.co.uk/blogs...ey/276662.aspx

    Funnily enough, it doesn't' even allow comments. Also, unfortunately, it seems she really does really hold these very extreme sexist views.

    HULL UNIVERSITY STUDENT'S UNION ABOLISHED MEN'S OFFICER POSITION BY UNDERHAND TACTICS

    Earlier this week my research let me down as I had said that Hull University Student's Union had a Men's Officer.
    Unfortunately, it was abolished in June as set out in the minutes (Minute 259b)
    The minutes speak volumes about the mindset of anti-male feminists and the fact they will stop at nothing to abolish male representation on campuses and do down men.
    The President of the Student Union put down a motion to abolish the position and VP Scar (presume the Vice President of Scarborough Student's Union) said not only was there a need for the position (he is right if there is a Women's Officer) but that there had been a referendum in 2007 on it and the students (including sane female students) had voted to keep it. 12 other SU's have these positions, like to know where they are?
    However, using extraordinary powers to make decisions when the summer term had ended, the SU Executive voted to abolish it without a referendum. VP Scar lost 5 votes to 1 (the others voting with the President being obvious cowards).
    What it says clearly is that the anti-male feminists like those at Hull University will stop at nothing, even by using sneaky unconstitutional means to attack men and service provision for them.
    The decision is bad enough but the manner of it says all you need to know.

    from the minutes:

    Quote:
    1. Men’s Officer – Proposal to abolish the Position The President introduced the attached proposal giving details as to why she believed the above position should be abolished. Asked if members had any comments or questions? VP(Scarb) put forward his reasons for keeping the position which included his belief that men were under-represented; national statistics in education highlight that there is a greater need to support men; a referendum was held and the students voted to keep the position; UEC should not be making this decision under summer powers as feel it is a decision to be made by the student body – why can this not wait until September to do this via referendum?; should not take into account that we are a laughing stock for having this position – why should we be bothered by this? 12 other Student Unions also have this role; if the role is not there, where would men go to be counselled on issues that effect men, such as testicular cancer; and this role is constantly under attack and feel should fight to keep it. VP(W&E) stated that the national statistics in this case are being misused. Here at Hull University, the majority of courses are ones that women particularly excel at but am addressing this through the University committee structure. It has been nationally identified that the there are specific groups that suffer discrimination and men are not included in this. Our liberation committees, therefore, are set up to address these specific groups, such as disabled students and black students. The President added that women in society are stereotyped against as generally speaking it is men that rise to the top of organisations. An example of this is the HUU structure this year - the Board of Trustees and UEC this year has only 1 woman represented on it. VP(W&E) added that there is no allowance in the Welfare budget for a Men’s Officer. At the end of the above discussion, it was agreed to vote on this issue. The following was, therefore, put to the vote:
    • Those in favour of deleting the role of Men’s Officer:
    Votes for: 5
    Votes against: 1 Carried
    I couldn't find the actual reasons for scrapping the position and in spite of students wants, they went ahead anyway.

    Re: The National Union of Students on men's officers

    I can't wait to see the Western world destroyed sometimes. Funny enough, the more garbage like this I read, the more I realize that the world I cared for was dead a long time ago and it's like seeing a person with cancer slowly dying - you can't wait for it to be over with.

    Re: The National Union of Students on men's officers

    It would seem that the whole arguement they put is "men are not discriminated against, because they are men".

    Er... hello?



    I have tried all my life to leave the place better than I found it.
    But there are 6 billion other buggers out there messing it up.
    I am outnumbered.

    Yes, alongside a number of other referendums Parliament has conveniently sidestepped.

    Re: The National Union of Students on men's officers

    Scary , isn't it ?
    This just shows the sort of tripe that is taught to students . It's nothing new . I was at college in 1980/82 . We had "humane studies" that basically told us that all men were evil rapists and women were exploited .
    I challenged the lecturer , and stated that a relative of mine had been abused by his wife , and had written death threats . He said he was sure that she didn't mean to threaten ,and was just crying for help . I told him that he had a writtten note , saying "I hate you , I am going to kill you and smash the car up " . He took it to the police and was told "nothing we can do , sir" .
    The lecturer became agitated , and said "if I wasn't a pacifist , I would take you outside and give you a hiding !"

    Any comments from NUS officers on that ? I won't hold my breath

    That's rather ironic that this lecturer was threatening violence because you were recalling 'facts' about a woman physically abusing a man. I would have said sod your pacifism, I don't take kindly to any form of threat, veiled or otherwise - we're going outside no matter what.

    The only thing these folks won is the 'moron of the year award' if you ask me.
