Do you think one has to be batshit insane to be a "Gender Studies Professor," or does being one make one insane?
I am guessing the former. Sane people would be too embarrassed to take the position in the first place.

The students told Campus Reform that the perpetrator was Margot Lovett, a gender studies and humanities professor who has a history of controversial actions on campus. Notably, OC Weekly reported in 2001 that she had promulgated a statement by the Black Radical Congress to her colleagues blaming “U.S. Imperialism” for the 9/11 attacks.
After ripping down the posters, video footage of the incident reveals that the professor came over to tell the students that they were not allowed to put up posters on that part of campus, because it was not a free speech zone.

I'm starting to get confused. Is gender studies sexist?

Fields of study aren't inherently anything. Some tend to attract certain types of people very strongly, who then shit up the field with their opinions, but there's no natural sexism in examining the differences between masculine, feminine, and other.

It can be sort of a silly thing to dedicate your life to, though.

Only from the stigma of association. On its own it's no sillier than football or regatta racing or fusion cuisine or anthropological studies in general.

I think empirically there's a big difference between watching a contest, and studying genders, but I'll give you the other comparisons.
Discussions sure have gotten a lot more precise around here, lately.

SJWs hang banner at Fenway.
It amazes me that racism only exists here in the U.S.

I always want those people to visit other non-racist countries like Russia and Iran.

They don't really want to travel, having perspective and experience will ruin the fact that they already know everything.

I realized today that the SJW movement is the new Puritanism. Better say the right thing and watch the blaspheme according to their rules, or else.

saying there is no need for graduates in the labor market and they take taxpayer money away from other programs.
I mean, that's not wrong...

Was pondering the other day, I heard about some gender studies grad whining that they have $40k in college debt, with nothing to show for it but a gender studies degree.
Which made me wonder, what percentage of the time is a gender studies degree not a complete waste of money, and a sign of a deep, deep stupidity? Like maybe 5% of the time? And half that is just becoming some sort of gender studies teacher in academia?

If you're in college getting a gender studies degree, you could disappear forever and the world would be unaffected.
