News Flash: Columbia Sued For Being Too Feminist! See Daily News article:
Monday, August 18th 2008, 8:29 PM
Anti-feminist lawyer Roy Den Hollander sued Columbia University Monday, accusing it of turning feminism into the school's religion - and teaching that men are "the primary cause for most, if not all, the world's ills."
Hollander says Columbia discriminates against men by teaching a doctrine that scapegoats men for all of history's troubles.
In a suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court, he complains that the Ivy League school in Morningside Heights uses federal money to fund a "religionist belief system called feminism."The class-action suit argues that Columbia's women's studies program demonizes men and exalts women to justify discrimination against men based on collective guilt.
The civil rights suit is the latest in a Hollander-led campaign attacking the alleged infringement of men's rights.
Hollander, a self-described anti-feminist, has also sued city nightclubs for discriminating against men by charging them more on discount ladies' nights. Hollander is suing to recover damages on behalf of current and former male students. Columbia should offer equivalent programs for men, he said.
Also named as defendants are the federal and state governments, which provide funding to run the campus' women's studies programs.
He refused to give his age, claiming it would hinder his chances of picking up younger women at city nightspots.
"I'm always running into women who think I'm younger than I am, so I don't want to disillusion them," Hollander noted.
A Columbia spokesman declined to comment.
