I think that every man needs to learn how to be a man, this is not a specialty. One cannot specialize into being a man while others specialize in being doctors or engineers. No, being a man is life lessons that every male doctor, engineer, painter, historian or whatever needs to learn. You cannot turn it into an academic specialization
For the same reason I think philosophy and psychology degrees are useless. In this day and age to thrive in this world you need to be a philosopher and a psychologist no matter what your education and profession is. You need to learn these things yourself parallel to studying a serious field like engineering, math, chemistry or medicine. If you want to live life on your terms and not be manipulated by others if you want to be leader in your career and relationships it is imperative that you know know the great philosophers of mankind, their teachings, can take and use for yourself what you find useful from these teachings to control your life and not be controlled by mainstream consumerist flow. It is imperative that you know practical applied psychology - how to motivate yourself, how to handle women, how to be liked in workplace, how to make friends, how to raise children, how to convince people to give you money and power. Without this knowledge you are a fucked up chump these days. If you choose to study these things academically then you are in a worse position than a STEM graduate who has learned these skills for himself, because his skillet is broader.
Education is for learning trade. Masculinity and masculine philosophies and psychology must be learned independently. Also because being a man is about being independent.
