Why are there "women's studies" classes and no "men's studies" classes?

[acemcmac]

Reflecting on my first day of second summer session tomorrow...

Possible answer, ableit politically incorrect answer: "duh, because we already have men's studies classes... they're called buisness, government and engineering classes"

 

[LordNoob]

From the women's studies perspective, all literature, history, etc. classes are all already "men's studies".

Because we are a society of double standards masked behind equality.

 

[z0mb13]

because women are much more complicated than men?

😀😀

And from the men's studies perspective, all "women's studies" are...well.....kinda gay.

you don't have to be a woman to be interested in feminist theory

I think my school's Women's Studies department turned into plain old Gender Studies. Most of the classes are still about women though, naturally.

 

[EULA]

same reason there's a "Black Starz" TV channel and not a "White Starz" TV channel?

[myusername]

because your school sucks?

It's men's studies, a field that's the focus of more than 500 courses offered at schools across the nation.

 

[Spike]

Because Women are more fun to study? 😉

And from that you get "queer studies".

Because, subconsiously, all women want to study each other.

I resent that. :|

I'm not the least bit interested in feminist theory. 😛

 

[nageov3t]

Men's Studies = just about every other class.

 

[gotsmack]

There are men's studies classes. I've never seen one before but I've heard about them. It was created only as a reaction to women's studies classes.

[Pepsei]
