    For those interested in learning about the topic...

    More of what you criticize, ad hom.


    All this postmodern crap is invading STEM as well. And the workplace. If you don't like videos you ought to find some way to educate yourself on it.

    Would you like a hanky?

    I'm sorry if you're unable to compete.

    Does Camille post here?

    I'm not necessarily against ad homs, just hypocrites who don't have the balls to admit that that's what they do.

    Thats impressive. I can tell from your posts you are very intelligent. I also like how you allow a detractor to back themselves far into a corner before you drop the hammer on them . Good stuff, Alexa

    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).
