...and their replacement by "trans/queer" studies:

I personally think women's studies is a waste of time. Unless it is part of a sociology or social sciences degree or something, I don't see how it is very useful or meaningful in a career.

Same applies to queer studies - unless its part of a wider subject like social sciences, I don't see what use it has as a major.

It's a giant con, women get into debt for thousands of dollars and have no job prospects at the end of it.

If the women's studies professors said there was no oppression of women they would lose their jobs.

Is there a such thing as men's studies? No, because it's frivolous and silly.
