There IS a men's studies. It is called, appropriately enough, masculinism or masculism (they are interchangeable). Do an internet search for it, and you will find information on it.
I happen to own a book about it because I'm a feminist, but I'm a humanist first.
The reason you've never heard of it is because historically, women have been more oppressed than men. Notice I say "more" oppressed. Men have indeed experienced oppression in many forms in society. You've also never heard of it because for a society that was once male-dominated (and is still considered male-dominated by some) will never widely admit to male weakness or victimization. Just look at how society reacts to men who are victims of domestic abuse. They instantly question his manhood. It's not right, but that's how it is.
And please don't lump all feminists in with the crazy ones. There are women who want to be superior to men, and then there are feminists. The TRUE meaning of feminism is still equality, not superiority.

Because the ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE WORLD HAS BEEN THE STUDY OF MEN!! Women are ONLY JUST NOW CATCHING UP! Sorry you feel like men are being pushed to the side but it is about frickin time that women realized that there is more to life than just MEN and what they think and how they react. Blah.

It would be possible if you were to get a group of men together to study mens' studies or health.

Because in today's culture, we put a huge value on victim-hood.
So, those who whine the loudest get the most respect.
And feminists have whined very loud indeed.
It's almost ruined the ability to even have a decent relationship anymore.
I'll go on a date, and so many times I sit there hearing how evil men are, and I'm thinking "if we're so evil, then why do I have to pay for this dinner while I'm getting slammed for stuff I've never done?"

Same as black history month. Ridiculous. What other race has ONE DAY devoted to their race, much less an entire month. Go ahead and accuse me of being racist. I'm not. I'd be equally as outraged if there were a white history month. It's a crock of SH*T.

Mens' studies is everything else.

Finally an intelligent question.
Also:
-There can be all girls schools but no all boys schools
-All girl health clubs but no all guy health clubs
-A girl can play in the PGA but a guy can't play in the LPGA
It is descrimination.
