There's just no justice for dudes in this world: Last week a judge threw out a lawsuit against Columbia University over the school's practice of offering women’s studies, but no corresponding courses for men who want to study themselves. Judge Lewis Kaplan followed the recommendation of a magistrate judge and dismissed Roy Den Hollander's lawsuit, rejecting his "central claim that feminism is a religion... Feminism is no more a religion than physics, and at least the core of the complaint therefore is frivolous." Of course, if you know your Den Hollander, you know he's not about to let some treacherous, man-hating judge get the last word. He tells City Room, "The only thing frivolous and absurd is men looking for justice in the courts of America. When it comes to men’s rights, judges act with an arrogance of power, ignorance of the law, and fear of the feminists."

Crusading men's rights lawyer Roy Den Hollander has vowed to fight on in his battle to force Columbia University to drop its women’s studies program, after a magistrate judge’s recent recommendation to dismiss his case. You may recall Hollander from such previous hit lawsuits as the fight against ladies' nights and his suit against the federal government's Violence Against Women Act.

Not content with suing Manhattan nightclubs for discriminating against men on Ladies’ Night, or suing the federal government over the “unconstitutional” Violence Against Women Act, lawyer provocateur Roy Den Hollander has filed a class-action lawsuit against Columbia University for offering women’s studies courses. Hollander says the lawsuit at last completes his blockbuster “trilogy of antifeminist lawsuits,” according to City Room. A rumored prequel has him suing the Gynecological & Obstetrical Society for refusing to give him a Pap smear.
