Our thanks to Greg for this. An extract:
He applied to set up such a platform (a men’s forum, there’s already a women’s forum), but the University of Plymouth Students’ Union (UPSU) said equal opportunities legislation only applies to groups which have suffered “historic and ongoing discrimination”, adding “those groups do not include men”.
We wish this courageous young man every success in establishing a men’s forum. If the Student’s Union forbids it, he should set one up anyway, off-campus if necessary. Who’d want to be told what groups they can and cannot establish by a bunch of left-wing spotty herberts and feminists running a Student’s Union? The idea is appalling.
If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
Justice for Men & Boys 
I suppose the idiots in the student’s union are right. Men, after all, were not the ones to have to go down mines and die earlier from lung disease, to have to be in the front line to defend the country, to not have the male equivalent of a widow’s pension, to have to wait an extra five years for the old age pensions, to have to make do with a fraction of the money spent on their health care, to suffer longer prison sentences for the same offence, to be robbed in the divorce and family courts…,

A hero. I have voted in the poll in support, I hope others do to counter the inevitable “backlash”. On a point of accuracy the UPSU is wrong the Equality Act in fact is gender neutral, men can be considered a “protected group” if they can be shown to suffer indirect or direct disadvantage. The examples given are now clearly evidenced as affected by gender discrimination even if the policy responses are woeful. It is a “mistake” that people like the UPSU often make “gender” in the act doesn’t = women.
Please all to vote up Will.

I’ve just voted in the poll in support of Will, and am pleased to note that, of the 500-odd votes so far, 68% are in his favour.
As for the explanation given by the Students’ Union for their decision, this reeks of disingenuousness.

Surely, if he is not allowed an equal opportunity he is suffering “ongoing discrimination” right there.
