You know, if this became a trend, I think "Women's Studies" would go the way of phrenology and alchemy.

[calrighty]

Or sex ed too!

[coconutt2000]

If women's studies is to be politically correct, 50% of the chairs for these departments should be men.

[VeniVidiVici]

Well, since this happened I guess I can grudgingly accept a female to head a college's Men's Studies Dept.

[AndyTheBear]

but one doctoral candidate in women's studies scoffed at the notion that no one else was qualified except this "straight, white guy."

A bigot against "straight white guys". Suprise, suprise.

One can only hope. However, a sizable number of men now specialize in male bashing. They could prove more worrisome than their female counterparts.

[Fido969]

This guy's CAREER is "women's studies"?

Cripes. He has GOT to be an idiot.

[LauraleeBraswell]

Women's studies is ridiculous. I would never take it.

[TotusTuus]

He maintains that his goal is to promote and hire so many talented women in the program that he'll go down in university history books as the department's last chair-"man."

Trying not to read between the lines here.

So many possibilities at interpretation.

[dr_who_2]

Now, now. If this guy's an idiot, that might even raise the possibility that over half the humanities professors out there are total idiots. But let's be careful about saying things like that. Must think happy thoughts.

I love these off-the-wall new-age departments of "the academy".

IIRC, the "Peace Studies" department at a local state U. was having
some conflicts over the location of a new building for their department.

I just love it when libs/lefties have a head-on by virtue of conflict
on a number of their sacred cow dogma.

[wardaddy]

I've studied women all my life and I still don't know jack.

[dr_who_2]

Ugh. Prepare for "Metrosexual studies" and scholarly writing like "Male cosmetology through the ages".

[dr_who_2]

Same here. I wonder if women understand themselves.

Hooray for Captain Spaulding!

[JennysCool]

A male Department Chairperson can play on the computer, schmooze at cocktail parties, hold pointless departmental meetings and write memos no one reads just as well as a woman Department Chairperson.

I Demand Complete Equality For Useless Overpaid Bureaucrats Everywhere!

[dr_who_2]

"One Legged Body Piercing Transsexual Studies" can't be far behind. Particularly if the government chooses to fund it.

[dr_who_2]

Actually, 49.5%

[wardaddy]

damn....a week of that tag and you are the first to recognize it



I salute you!

[Itzlzha]

Some have called the hire progressive, but one doctoral candidate in women's studies scoffed at the notion that no one else was qualified except this "straight, white guy."

It's so nice to see a man break thru the "Taffeta Ceiling"...and the way these women jealously guard their fiefdoms...you'd think they themselves were "straight, white guys."

A degree in Women's Stdies is a fast track for a special career...

or perhaps...

Or maybe this is the best summary...
