It's not much different than studying in areas like Italian studies, or Islamic studies, or Jewish studies or ancient civilizations, etc.. Women represent a portion of society/culture. They are going to have a different history than men in a lot of ways. They are going to be represented in different cultures in different ways. There are biological differences that have far-reaching effects (including into the arts). Psychological differences certainly exist. Social status, social change, societal norms... It is a humanity/social science mash-up that focuses on a common topic.

I would hope that more students than not elect a major that will help them in life. Like to get a well paying job.
In fact I have long said that student loans should be dischargeable in bankruptcy. If that happened, I imagine the lending institutions will take care of this: not only would a lendee need to prove competency (not likely to flunk out), they would have to have a plan that would assure the lender that the loan will likely be repaid (a major that pays).
