added that social pressure keeps men
from seeking help.
The overwhelming suggestion from
the survey participants was that a center
should be created for open discussion
of these issues.
"(The goal of the Men's Center is) to
normalize the idea that men do have
health concerns and they're worth pay
ing attention to," Davies said.
Miller said the group provides
workshops on stress management,
exercise and nutrition, and alcohol
and other drugs. The group en
dorsed and sponsored a Roe v. Wade
celebration party. Other activities
will include a showing of a film se
ries and a continuing discussion
group called Myths of Masculinity.
However, Miller said many people
question the need and purpose of a
men's center.
"There is inequality and men are
seen to have all of this social power," he
said. "Why do we want to have a center
for these people who enjoy the most
power and privilege in our society? It's a
really legitimate question."
Miller said one of the purposes of the
Men's Center is to look at how the pow
er of men affects society.
"If we want equality, we have to work
on ourselves, too," he said.
One of the organizations that is sup
portive of the center's work in fighting
against sexual assault and sexual vio
lence is Stop Abuse for Everyone. SAIT
is an organization that strives to provide
sexual assault and sexual violence re
sources to those who are typically left
behind by traditional abuse programs.
SAFE founder and University grad
uate Jade Rubick said he's glad to see
that the Men's Center provides servic
es for men in abusive relationships,
but he would rather see an on-cam
pus organization that is all-encom
passing and serves everyone who suf
fers from abuse.
"We applaud the efforts of anyone
fighting against domestic violence,"
Rubick said. "We also applaud the
work of people trying to advocate for
abused men."
Miller said he hopes the Men's Cen
ter will grow in the future
"I would like to see it expand, and
I would like to see people be able to
walk in and crash like they do at the
ASUO Women's Center," Miller said.
"We need to work on getting a bigger
space, getting more people involved
and more funding,"
He added that the group is currently
funded through the counseling center
and the ASUO.
One problem the group faces is get
ting men to accept the Men's Center
and use its services, Miller said.
He said a majority of men fall into
two groups. The first is men who feel
too self-aware and question the idea of
having a center for men when men are
causing the problems for most people.
The second group of men think the
idea of a men's center is "stupid" and
that all the men do is sit around and
"hug each other."
"1 hope that people continue to give it
a chance and are willing to give it a
chance;" Miller said. "I'd like to see more
men come in and use our services."
