A men's rights activist suggested that college enrollment among males is declining due in part to orientation week seminars on date rape, Metro News Canada reported.

Miles Groth, a psychology professor at Wagner College and a men's activist, said males "don't feel that welcome on campus" anymore. He made his comments ahead of a speech at the University of Toronto Friday for a student group.

The speech was nearly cancelled because the group, Canadian Association of Equality, could not cover additional fees for added police presence for fear of protesting. Third-party donors covered the costs, allowing the speech to proceed.

"Some of the content of these seminars, which are now very common in colleges and universities, set these boys coming in, set them up as being potentially dangerous, and potentially harmful, particularly to women on campus," Groth said. "There are, for example, date-rape seminars that are de rigueur for nearly all first-year student programs."

Deb Singh, a counselor at the Toronto Rape Crisis Center/Multicultural Women Against Rape, said sexual violence education is about clear definitions. She said it is "crucial" for young men and women to know the definition of rape and what exactly constitutes sexual misconduct.

"Talking about sexual violence is about letting people know that if you're drunk with someone and they said no, or they can't say yes or no because they're too intoxicated and you still go ahead with something anyways, guess what, that's sexual violence, that's sexual assault," she said. "It's about learning what it is."

Contrary to Singh's advice, Groth speculated that an "overkill" of this kind of information. However, recent studies have shown that an more education on sexual misconduct actually improves bystander action and long-term behavioral changes.

In fact, many students still may not be educated enough on sexual misconduct. A 2012 survey showed 41 percent of students in a study believed if a woman was raped while she was drunk, it would be her fault. By law, if a person has had even one drop of alcohol in his/her system, it is impossible for them to consent to sexual activity.

Michael Kimmel, author of "Angry White Men" and "Guyland," wrote in a CNN op-ed last year that movements similar to Groth's come from a sense of entitlement.

"Equality sucks when you've been on top," he wrote, "and men have been on top for so long that we think it's a level playing field."
