Masked as an initiative to combat sexual harassment, the university&#8217;s Man Up\u00a0Against Violence program is a function of identity politics designed to\u00a0emasculate men. The first step in that emasculation\u00a0is requiring men to\u00a0seek forgiveness for the sin of being a man.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8221; The confessional booth at the University of Regina is just the next step in the evolution of the left into a full-fledged religious cult. Part of that next step involves the continued emasculation of men. Sadly, many men are voluntarily destroying their masculinity by\u00a0lining up to drink the leftist Kool-Aid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif 500w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line-300x22.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And just which men are being <a href=\"http:\/\/www.campusreform.org\/?ID=8515\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">especially targeted<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Athletes, veterans, and members of fraternities.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;A Michigan college has been awarded more than $100,000 to teach its male students, particularly athletes, fraternity members, and military veterans, about how \u201ctraditional masculinity contributes to sexual assault.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Eastern Michigan University has, in fact, been awarded two consecutive grants by the state of Michigan, totaling a combined $105,112, thanks to the work of Vice President for Student Well-Being Ellen Gold, who lobbied for both.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;EMU asserts in a press release that the objective of the &#8216;Men of Strength: Creating a Respectful Environment&#8217;
