“Paglia argued that active programs in the field were thrown together out of the urgency to highlight women’s issues in the curriculum of the American academy. “
If that is the case, I guess that explains black and lgbtlmnop studies programs. As far as I’m concerned a woman majoring in women’s studies must be a moron and the company that would hire her even bigger morons.
There is a list of bogus “studies” programs which were developed across many campuses in the past 40+ years. “Studies” for Womyn, Afro-Americans, Chicano/a, “Ethnic” studies, “LGBTQ” studies etc. etc.
What they all have in common is a lot of bogus left-wing propaganda. You can’t be a professor in any of those fields without proving your left-wing credentials. Intellectual diversity be damned.
That is why a somewhat less extreme but still very liberal Larry Summers, as President of Harvard University, had to be excoriated and expelled when he challenged the execrable Cornel West to actually start doing some serious academic scholarship. Summers merely urged West to work on writing a book that would be worthy of his position as a “University Professor” (the highest rank for only 20 or so of the Harvard faculty of 1,000+). West had a meltdown at this “disrespect” (don’t you know this brotha is revered by Al Sharpton??) and the left purged Larry Summers to show what will happen to any university official who does not toe the line for all the bogus “studies” programs.

These are to fill the BS positions at corporations now forced on them by EEOC.
“Diversity Coordinator”
“Director of Inclusion”
