The absence of male studies programs in Canada is both a result of and clear evidence that political correctness along with moral panic and third wave feminism have a grip on the academe. Over the last three decades, this has marginalized a more inclusive, multi‐perspective “male studies” discipline. It has resulted in mainly feminist men’s studies programs and research that focus on men as primarily being violent victimizers, as well as secondary and disengaged parents. Male studies programs and a journal are necessary to reveal the “lived male experience.”
