I hate to disappoint but women's studies classes don't spend their time discussing men. The clue is in the name.

- parennoob 13y agoDecent amount of snark there, but could you back it up and have a women's studies class without discussing some form of male oppression or domination at least once?
- sambeau 13y agoDiscussing some form of male oppression or domination is not the same as discussing men.
- foobarbazqux 13y agoWomen are defined relative to men, just as men are defined relative to women. If there were no men, women would just be "people". In discussing one, you implicitly discuss the other. Whatever makes women into women, men are not that. Except, "woman" and "man" can also be seen as archetypes, and it's possible to integrate both, at least to some degree.
- mkr-hn 13y agoThis is contrary to everything I've heard from women who tried a women's studies class. Apparently the patriarchy hypothesis features prominently.
