A Sample of Women's Studies Courses

Education TLE writes "Have a look at the Gender and Women's Studies offerings from the University of Illinois to get an idea what young women are getting stuffed into their heads. Where are all the men's courses? Where are the seminars offering critical thinking? Doesn't Title IX apply here? I wonder if the general public knows how far this has gone?"

Well, it's not like anyone who teaches these courses would know anything about critical thinking.

I saw this class: "Fraternity Peer Rape Education and Prevention," but I couldn't find their class on "Sorority Peer False Accusation Education and Prevention." I guess I blew my search somehow.

I'll have to spend more time searching.

I think it's possible to find anything on the net EXCEPT Mens Studies Courses. There are ,of course, some feminist controlled courses aimed at men which are called "mens studies".
              The whole phenomenon of Womens Studies (and corresponding lack of Mens Studies) is one topic which is under-discussed on this site. These State funded lesbian feminazi nests have played a pivotal role in the formulation and implementation of feminist policies. They were first inaugurated in the late 60's as the early feminists (or womens libbers in those days) recognised that they would provide the funding and infrastructure that would drive the feminazi juggernaut.

Yes. I called my daughters university a while back (yes, I am paying) and asked why there were no Men's Studies courses. I was told in no uncertain terms that the reason there were no Men's Studies courses was that men had never been oppressed! I was stunned then and I am still stunned. What a lame excuse. And of course quite untrue.

What gets me is~
One- What can you do with a Women's Studies degree other than teach Women's Studies or work at Wendy's? There is nothing in the coursework which would prepare you for a job.

Two~read The scum manifesto, then think about it. If all the men were gone, and all the women went to women's studies, in about um, a week women would have gone back about 5 thousand years in technology. Even now there are simply not enough women capable or interested in doing the jobs men hold. Whether technical, like engineering, electronics, mechanical, plumbing, appliance repair or brute strength jobs like mining, logging, moving, construction to the distasteful jobs like refuse collecting, septic service, or the guy that pulls the carcasses off the road, or the dangerous jobs like firemen and police officers, (plus many of the above jobs). The world would not function without these men doing these jobs. This is not including all the other benifits men add which are not summed up by their jobs.
These women are dreaming of this female utopia? Well, let's see them the first cold day of the year..freezing their asses off and blaming everyone else. If something goes wrong and there is no man to blame...um, well,
I cannot believe parents actually let their daughters sign up for such a blatent lesbian recruitment center. What I wonder is do they get free toasters for every girl they enlist?

I think what's even more important is that they would stop evolving. I'd guess that 90% of evolution occurs in the male side. After all, millions of sperm are produced by a single male versus one egg in a female. And those sperm are less protected than an egg. They are near the outside of the body and are very susceptible to changes in heat and other variables, resulting in more mutations.

Humans won't evolve to any "next level" or become any smarter. Such a utopia would leave humans on a dead-end evolutionary path and most likely result in the extinction of all humans.

My prediction is that the hard, dirty, dangerous jobs would fall to the women who had the most physical strength and mental toughness. These women would become very much like men except that they would be unrestrained by any concept of chivalry or gallantry.

Hey Jen you just violated the 1st rule of feminism by saying that there are differences between men and women, and that women can't do everything men do (as good as men do it).

It's true we are somewhat conditioned by roles in our society, but the truth is you are right. Men and Women are beautifully biologically different, and most don't even want the same roles. They're psychologically different too, and that seems to be where a lot of the problems begin. Men and women appear to think differently at a fundamental level.

As if men and women didn't have enough of a problem working out there age old differences, along comes radical feminism and pulls the whole thing down to a lower level, with their femitwit insanity custom tweaked and built into law. From that point everything is all men's fault.

God knows men have been doing far, far less than a perfect job running government, stopping wars, saving the environment, but it isn't because they are innately bad as much as it is they live in a very imperfect world with lots of natural built in short comings and obstacles. I never cease to be amazed that concrete and steel have the same coefficients of expansion and contraction and make incredibly strong structures and buildings. What a flook of nature, what a stroke of good luck. Too bad we can't find an energy source so environmentally helpful.

But I digress, anything that we use in our modern lives that has shortcomings is somehow all the fault of greedy, evil men (according to feminism). It is nothing short of a miracle that human kind has gotten to this point, considering how little goodness men have historically show to their families all these millennia (according to feminism).

Another 30 years of feminism and every male child will just be tattooed on the forehead at birth, Born Evil!

Men and women are fundamentally different, and I do not believe that is going to change. Working to help both genders be the best they can be seems a whole lot better for society and the people in it than the abhorrent femitwit laws we now have making Men's and Women's lives so miserable.

Personally I like women (I know that's hard for most of you to believe). It is really the ultimate social tragedy that there isn't as much government effort spent building up men and women as is spent in tearing them down, and making them enemies.

God knows we have enough challenges facing us, living in this imperfect world, especially as the human population continues to grow and place greater demands on good old Mother Earth. Forgive me for using that feminine stereotype to describe the dwindling resources of our isolated planet. The virulent infestation of Homo Sapiens who inhabit planet earth have ravaged the poor old girl’s precious resources more rapaciously, than a $2.00 hooker is ravaged on a Saturday night in a Sailor bar (evil man imagery). Are feminist consumers guilty of contributing to the world’s problems, but largely place the blame on all men? Youbetcha! We must all bear responsibility for our shortcomings, and we must all be accountable for our existence on this earth, in this society, women as well as men.

The Women's studies graduates go into corporate America, bully them into thinking sexism is rampant, and then go in to teach forced re-education courses to the employess. The fact that these women got jobs in this pseudoscience is used by the schools as "proof" of the need to turn out more women's studies majors.

Tom,

Your observations are as keen as ever. The truth is that women were never oppressed. That claim of victimization and oppression is a totally fabricated lie. Throughout human history, groups of people have had difficulties as well as benefits. The constant feminist whining that "men have always had it better" is simply a lie and we need to start calling the feminists liars.

At Iowa State University (which I attend), a Women's Studies undergraduate major and minor are offered. There are 33 undergraduate courses with the "Women's Studies" classification. There is 1 course that can be called a Men's Studies course. Interestingly enough, it is offered by the Women's Studies dept. I have not been able to get into the course, because it is only offered one semester a year and fills up very fast with - guess who - women's studies majors and minors.
One interesting aspect of the Introduction to Women's Studies course is the project requirement. Every student in the class is required to do a project on-campus to promote women's issues or awareness of feminist issues. Usually the projects that are chosen are rather mild, like distributing flyers or creating a web site. But lately, the groups have been more outspoken and are actively campaigning on-campus. I have run into one group each year through my student government positions that has been seeking to change something in the residence halls. Their primary motivation? Their Women's Studies project!
Why is the university actively requiring students to engage in feminist activity? For a grade nonetheless.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I have looked into "women's studies" = "entitlement and victimology 101". I think that a Women's Studies based on the accomplishments, succeses, and role-models of women would be great. In other words something that is uplifting to women and celebrates women's accomplishments. But all I see is "oppression" (for which NONE of these women have been AROUND for HUNDREDS OF YEARS), "rape prevention" (a WONDERFUL course, provided there is a counterpoint of false-allegations study), "DV: all sides of the issue, and prevention" (instead of the MEN and ONLY MEN are guilty of DV), and so on and so forth.

My problem with this is that in many schools MEN are being forced to FUND this by making these courses mandatory. See there are two reasons for this in my view of things. Women's Studies has been losing the interests of students and their classroom attendence was declining steadily (much as N.O.W.'s membership) ... ahhhh, let's make it MANDATORY. So in the name of "diversity" (let's favor everyone and ANYONE beside men - especially men who are white) the classes have been made mandatory. Also, the second reason is that college students are open minded and don't realize that so much of what is being presented has never passed a peer review (being reviewed by like-minded feminists in the same department is NOT peer review), is not open to debate in the class, and "let's get em while they're young and impressionable" thinking.

And when men ask, like posted above, where are the men's courses ... "men aren't victims". Ya know what ... screw "men as victims" courses, which again shows what these Feminazi courses are teaching, how about celebrating men's accomplishments, role-models, and problems. I don't need to be taught that "all men are" victims, oppressed, or whatever ... just teach the kids non-relativistic values, positive role models, and REAL history (good, bad, or indifferent).

A worthwhile gender studies course would look sympathetically at the vulnerabilities and sacrifices of men as well as women. And just as standard history courses present infamous males as well as famous ones, women's history courses should do the same with females. As long as feminists are calling all the shots, women's studies programs will continue to be political indoctrination machines -- illogical, deceitful, bigoted and harmful.

There's another insidious story to be told as to why Wymenz Studies continues to terrorize the nation's campuses.

Over the past two decades, lots of women who were indoctrinated during the 70's and 80's into radical male-hating feminism have climbed the administrative ladders in higher education to become prominent "leaders."

Most of the Dean of Students positions are now held by women.

Many community college Presidents are radical female feminists.

Once ensconced in these positions of influence, they proceed to impose their gender bias upon whole institutions.

Numerous studies of hiring and promotion patterns in our nation's esteemed institutions of higher learning clearly demonstrate that once you get rad fems in sufficient numbers in key roles, the conspiracy against men will be waged... usually successfully.

Of course, this is cleverly termed "support for diversity!"

If men increasingly perceive that they're being targeted for extinction, that's not necessarily a sign of paranoia.

It might be a survival instinct!

Yep Roy hit the ol nail on the head folks. I didn't do my usual 2 page disertaion (beathe sigh of relief here!), but he's right. And, as usual, rad fems are bemoaning the plight of women's UNEQUAL opportunities in education. Yea, right, it SURE IS unequal. There are more women in education, in college, they are now the majority in white collar jobs, and own more than 50% of the wealth in this country. It sure IS unequal. But the RAD FEMS who are running our education platforms keep those stats quiet while making WOMYNS STUDES (Miandry 101 - post doctorate) MANDATORY and making sure all the garbage that is shoveled to our kids is about the oppression, victimization, and violence against women and ONLY women.

I'm glad to hear that, and look forward to the book's release. I know C.H.S. has been lecturing on college campuses back East through the Independent Women's Forum, and I heard IWF even made it to an Arizona campus, but the West coast is a rampant hot bed (no pun intended) of man-hating feminism. I hear no rational person like Hoff-Sommers refuting feminazi lies and myths that are so rampant on CA college campuses. Truly CA college campuses are sexist, hostile environments against male students, teachers and employees as bad as, or worse than, any in the world.

I even invited the IWF to come West and lecture, but no doubt they have a full plate, or the stangle hold of feminazi ideology on CA college campuses is just too strong.
