...but I am a fungii to be with.
Does anybody actually know a person who has taken such a worthless class? Would you let your kids enroll in such worthless classes?
A class where taking an oral exam and passing it successfully first time makes you a stand-out.
It was at this point that I got lost.
Kinda off-topic---or reverse topic, but ever since I read The DaVinci Code I can't look at church doors without thinking of Georgia O'Keefe.
Words fail.
I met a girl from Occidental that took that course.
She said that the American Indian had the largest penis, and the American Jew had the hardest. I introduced my self as Tonto Goldfarb.

Occidental College is in Eagle Rock, CA (very near the Rose Bowl)...when I was graduating from high school in 1965 it was a "to die for" school to get into....arguably the west coast's most prestigious college.
Times have changed...
Possible ping.
Need to quit sleeping.
Sadly, this will soon change.
The post-blackness course must be about Michael Jackson. That'd fit with queer musicology, too.
Back in the 80s I had to take an "education" core class as a music education major at Washington State Univ. It was taught by a complete left wing ding bat, and the curriculum was P.C. garbage like how using masculine pronouns in gender neutral situations was destructive to female egos.
I was much more "liberal" then (i.e. more ignorant). The course was an eye opener and pushed me in in the opposite direction. I changed majors from music-ed to math in part because I could not stomach more such coarse work (and now make a lot more money then I would have as a teacher).
Occidental won the competition for a course named "The Phallus"...
And in paragraph 2, Ms. Allen (the writer), asserts: "And believe me, the competition was stiff".
Things that make you go hmmmmm.
I took two such courses in college.
One was called Race, Class, and Gender, where I learned that crack babies are actually the result of the father's cocaine-tainted sperm, and not the mother's own drug use.
Another class was Hollywood, Gays, and the Culture War, which was actually rather interesting. The (gay) professor of that course sounded a lot like some Freepers when he condemned militant homosexual activists for obstructing public health efforts to curb the spread of AIDS.
Both courses were selected partly to satisfy degree requirements, and partly to satisfy my curiosity. After several semesters of wholesome economics and political science courses, I wanted to experience some of the academic P.C. madness I had read so much about.
Would you let your kids enroll in such worthless classes?
Well, considering that most college students are adults, I really don't see how their parents would have any say in the matter. Unless these "adults" were letting mommy and daddy foot the bill, of course :)
Meh. A Professor Lewinksy joke would be too easy.
Personally, I think that anyone who headlines an article with, "I got an A in Phallus 101" is insensitive to the rest of us who might not have done so well, had we tried.
This BS cost $6150 a course.
Harrumph. I can find cheaper BS at a nearby farm.
I just sent the link to our daughter, a junior at Cal Poly. Her dad adds that we'd better not see anything like these on her transcript, LOL!
Plenty of kids take idiotic courses like this one as an "elective" in order to add an easy 'A' to the transcript. Back in my day, everybody took 'Theater Arts 190'.
I would think, to be fair, as long as the college balances the curriculum with vagina classes, everything should be on the up side. But I'm hardly a expert.:-)
This battle was lost decades ago.
Brahms, Bouguereau, Madison, Milton, are all but ghosts today.
