White men are the dominant paradigm, they have always been in the limelight and in control of business and government, where the big decisions affection society are made.
Untrue. Individual people have individual achievements. Anyone who focuses on the color of their skin and their genitals is both racist and misandric.

I always get a kick out of people who throw around the words "marginalized people" as if it actually means something. Its like baby talk.

I also get a kick out of such a passive phrase such as "...are needed..." because, of course, that signals that they are not needed.
Who do you think needs them (beyond professors whose livelihoods depend on them)? Certainly not the student who wishes to become a productive member of society.
And certainly no taxpayer money should be squandered on them.
There are no Men's Studies because it would be redundant to all the History classes.
Untrue. There are no Men's Studies classes because there is very limited demand for such pre-unemployment coursework, and also because Title IX does not require it. All it would take is a single "Dear Colleague" Title IX letter from the Department of Education to Universities & Colleges and you would find them spring into existence in a heartbeat.
So what you're saying is college isn't actually college anymore but a more expensive job training center?
And that is an issue that should be addressed.
Yes, it should be addressed. But with that said, it's up to the individual to use common sense.
Another problem is the fact that almost anyone can get accepted into college nowadays. Back in the day college used to mean something. Do we really have the resources to send EVERYONE to college for free? I doubt it.
