I am curious to know what your thoughts are on women's studies, and the people who preach it.
I have two co-workers who are currently women's studies majors at Long Beach State. They jump at every opportunity to call men chauvinist pigs. They arehot tempered, feisty, and irrational. One playful joke and they are at your throat.
I am all for women's studies, and for that matter, I'm all for equality (gender included). I just personally feel that sometimes the proponents gooverboard, preaching female superiority and the like. I even reach the point that I feel like these two just flat out hate men, even though they aren'tlesbians, and both have boyfriends.
I know I shouldn't let these two skew my perception of all women's studies majors, but in my limited exposure, I detect a lot of zeal for this cause,and it often times comes across as bigotry.
Am I the only one the feels this way? I wish they offered men's studies at universities.
