Is masculinity in crisis?

Do men need their own support groups?

Some students in Britain think so.

At Manchester University there is now a society called 'Masculinity Exploring Networking and Support'.

At Oxford University a similar group has been launched: Man Collective, described as "a response to the current state of masculinity".

Newshour's James Menendez spoke to Alex Linsley, the student behind the Man Collective, as well as to Martin Daubney, the editor of British men's magazine 'Loaded'.
