Women's Studies - a phony degree
What am I doing in Chemistry?
I'm just trying to figure out which part of the woman to study first...
Doesn't that just frost you? 164 credit hours for a bachelors degree in ME, and I coulda done the same thing *snerk* with a women's studies BA.
"...business and corporations find the need for more sensitivity to women's issues..."
Ahhhhh, but women supposedly can do anything a man can do, therefore, they should have NO issues!
Yep. Should be called Liberal Womens Studies, and they have a boatload of issues!
I would think a Women's Studies degree would be a red flag to employers: a warning of a hypersensitive individual who is likely to sue your company at the slightest provocation. HR would just find a nice, quiet, equally unqualified Art History major to hire, instead. ;)
Are we talking "straight" women here?
They DO have some opportunities:
Actress - Vagina Monologues
Activist - GLBT or NOW or MoveOn
Social Worker
Stripper
I'm sure I can think of a few more if I try...
I wasn't aware that McDonald's was in the business of either oppressing or celebrating women.
I was suprised to see as many "straight" women in these courses as dykes.
Hey, let's not dis the fast food industry. At least they perform a valuable service...
Where is the BARF alert?
The thread title wasn't self evident?
BTW, how ya been. Haven't typed at you for awhile?
Then perhaps we should ENCOURAGE such degrees - to serve as easy, obvious red flags against such chip-on-shoulder hyper-sensitives for all of us, corporations or individuals!

Yeah, serious. Why did I suffer through thrmodynamics & differential equations?
OK. my school didn't offer WS, because there were only about 2 dozen women on campus.
The few reasonably attractive in engineering classes were inundated by nerds asking them out. 'Course, I wasn't one of the nerds....
Our college tax dollars at work. --The Chicoms are producing engineers and scientists, we are producing councelors and experts in greco-roman history.
