Excellent points. Philosophy isn’t a practical course and women’s studies just indulges the emotionally immature who have either daddy issues or had one too many boyfriends and have ended up bitter and alienated and want to hold someone else responsible for their mistakes and bad choices.
Too many idiots go to university to study things that have nothing to do with the reality that in the end, they do have to end up making a living. Stupidly they don’t think to end up being mature. This is another reason I’m against going to university right away after high school.
Wait....Are you saying that a Master degree in Wymnns Studies and Lesbian Street Puppetry is useless?
Well, what about the Code Pink Walking and Talking Vaginas? I thought they were pulling down big bucks and doing socially significant... Uh things or something. MSM told me so.

There is more to life and education than the merely “practical.”
Your thinking that the study of philosophy is not practical demonstrates a common and flawed misconception.
I have a degree in philosophy and can attest to its practicality.
Logic. The study thereof. Fundamental to the study of philosophy. Also fundamental to analysing and resolving the business problems of he day.
Never have worked in academia, and have never eaten at the public trough. Got my philosophy degree 35 years ago.
