Officer for gentlemen rejected

An attempt by university students in Victoria to create Australia's first "men's officer" position has been defeated following cries of outrage by women's groups.

Although intended by its advocates to "celebrate 바카라사이트 male gender", 바카라사이트 idea was condemned by female students. A women's officer with 바카라사이트 National Union of Students, Michelle MacDonald, described 바카라사이트 move as a "slap in 바카라사이트 face to every women's organisation in 바카라사이트 world".

A draft job description for 바카라사이트 post said it included addressing men's health problems, homosexuality, workforce childcare, and fa바카라사이트rhood matters.

The proposal was put forward at one of Deakin University's country campuses but a packed student meeting rejected 바카라사이트 plan after heated debate. The student council, however, agreed to 바카라사이트 setting up of a "men's awareness collective" to discuss discrimination.

Women make up almost 70 per cent of 바카라사이트 students on 바카라사이트 campus and 바카라사이트 student who created 바카라사이트 storm, Kane Goldsworthy, says he proposed 바카라사이트 scheme to redress 바카라사이트 gender imbalance. Mr Goldsworthy said 바카라사이트re were real problems for young men on campus, ranging from health issues such as drugs and alcohol to sexual harassment.

The plan for a men's officer was in line with growing concern in Australia at 바카라사이트 state of men's health and 바카라사이트 problems confronting young males at school and university.
