How do we go about getting male scholars? As far as I am aware, there are no 'Men's Gender Studies' departments taking students. Prospective PhD candidates would need be pioneers in the field. To top it off, they would probably have to do it within current gender studies departments - which you have just told us are filled with victim feminists who do not tolerate dissent!

To top it off, Universities (in Canada anyway) are in a budget crunch and are cutting back everywhere, but especially in the humanities. Is there really any chance for Male Gender Scholarship to get any funding, especially if their 'peers' are most likely going to be extremely hostile to it?

A think-tank is an interesting approach. I would be concerned that most people tend believe that think-tanks are biased. Though that has not stopped most of them from influencing government policy in committees.

I also wonder who would be willing to fund a Male Gender Issues think tank. Given the current popular opinion, I suspect public money would not be forthcoming, and many corporate donors would be loath to associate themselves with such an organization. So how would this be funded? Would these people be volunteers?

In any event, if anyone tries to do this I'll be happy help out in the lawyer category.
