Is the current "female supremacy" climate a mere retribution to former male oppressors?

Is the current "female supremacy" climate a mere retribution to former male oppressors?
I have read an article on how the proposal of a "Men's Studies" department on a college campus is preposterous, as feminists state that "the men's centre is everywhere else". So, if this is true, does that not imply that men are indeed excelling their female counterparts in higher education, as opposed to females which many media resources like to accentuate? Perhaps not, but if women are exceeding in academia than why do many of them assail such proposals if they outperform men in the majority of academic fields anyway? Surely there would be no threat, unless an MS department promoted rape and any other form of male inflicted abuse, which would never happen.

This article I read also proclaims that women mainly dominate social studies and humanities, which I believe to be true. So, comprehending this to be accurate, this implies that female dominated areas within campus would be "feminised", right? Now if that is okay, why would a man's space be a problem for being "masculinised" - even men have denigrated such a department based on the male psyche to be sexism.

I suppose my main question is: is being born male really a negative thing? You may stress that in certain cultures, females receive the same demonisation, but here in the west, we promote freedom, equality and opportunities for anyone.

I personally would not enroll on a "Men's Studies" course if one were to ever emerge (I don't know if any exist in my country) but I personally do not see how a Women's Studies course is any more exigent - especially in this day and age.

Femininity=good
Masculinity= bad

Your thoughts?
