Is her degree just as valid as everyone else's? Yes. Is her degree as valuable as everyone else's? No.

"I need feminism because without privilege I'm just an unqualified worker."

DavidByron · 2013-05-22T14:15:37+00:00

There are a lot of "jobs for the girls" as a result of the legal advances made by feminists in the 80s and 90s. And some of them could reasonably be called, "professional privilege checker".

For example she could go to work in one of the many government offices for women, or become a professional advising companies on how to avoid sexual harassment lawsuits by setting up sexist regulations aimed at limiting men's behaviour.

"I need feminism because I have no marketable skills."

Great, because they just opened up a gender studies factory in town. You'll be hired in no time!

2013-05-22T14:10:49+00:00

I need feminism because I can't think for myself.

Sir_wank_alot · 2013-05-22T14:57:09+00:00

I would be careful posting stuff from 4chan. Seems like there's an anti-feminist/women wave in there for the tine being. While they are allowed to have their opinion, they sometimes claims to be MRAs which in turn puts the actual MRA movement in a bad light.

Just be careful and keep a lookout for the light hearted content. We need a good laugh every now and then.

Yay the SRS downvotes are climbing. Bring them on brigade!

edit 1 : 8 up 6 down - the downvote brigade is picking up steam!

ExpendableOne · 2013-05-22T16:05:40+00:00

The ironic thing is that, an "unprivileged" women would be completely unable to pursue a career in an unviable field. They would be prioritizing the value of the degree, and the income it can provide, over personal interest, and wouldn't have the luxury of readily available partners ready to bail her out for her own poor life choices.

CrossHook · 2013-05-22T13:05:36+00:00

And this is why feminists like her promote rape hysteria.

Well this girl is posed in front of Douglas library at Queen's University. Here's more information about that program and here's its mission statement. I can't give you any examples of successful people who went through that program, but I can give you this guy.

Dr Jason Laker was a former Vice-Dean of Student Affairs at Queen's whose doctoral dissertation was on male engagement in the classroom is a strong proponent of Men's issues. He's since left to join San Jose State University and he's sorely missed.

His replacement Ann Tierney (yes, her last named is pronounced "tyranny") is a lawyer, but has in many respects been disappointing. She spearheaded the suspension of our marching band for apparently being degrading and offensive to women in spite of the fact that the marching band is dominated by women. She also has banned alcohol in residence and threatened to take away the serving licences of the on-campus bars.

Funcuz · 2013-05-22T18:32:14+00:00

Well , she's basically right because without feminism her degree wouldn't be worth anything at all. It's like saying that without your television your remote control would be useless.

tekrat · 2013-05-22T16:17:00+00:00

Reality Check: You degree is worth the same as a man's. But women have this weird biological quirk called 'getting pregnant.' 'Getting pregnant' often causes a women to stay at home with there 'offspring' and stopping their career before they reach the pinnacle of there profession.

For those that choose to continue working after 'getting pregnant', 'offspring' generally interrupt there career track. The distraction caused by the 'offspring' detracts from their salary goals. This effect is amplified when a stable mate is not in the 'family unit.'

The solution is simple: don't 'get pregnant' and stop complains because other women choose to.

I NEED FEMINISM BECAUSE I SOMEHOW BELIEVE IT WILL MAKE ME MONEY

cstrayer · 2013-05-22T18:49:10+00:00

Gender studies can probably teach useful ways of analyzing trends. But it's not going to earn you marketable skills. The inability to get a job after graduating with such a fuzzy degree is not a reason for turning your back on gender equality.

In short, quit complaining and go to grad school to learn something marketable.

theskepticalidealist · 2013-05-22T19:53:26+00:00

It's just as worthless as any other worthless degree

AloysiusC · 2013-05-22T20:56:15+00:00

A degree in gender studies is worth as much as a political science degree acquired in North Korea.

Sacrosanction · 2013-05-22T16:03:12+00:00

downvote this shit. This isn't men's rights.

pstanish · 2013-05-22T17:20:47+00:00

I think the reason why her gender studies degree is not as valid as, lets say and engineering degree, is because of feminism. Either because feminists don't teach the whole argument. The curriculum was most likely dumbed down as a result of feminism making the degree less valid. Without feminism she may have actually had to learn how to think and not what to think.

abillonfire · 2013-05-22T19:47:36+00:00

What goes through your mind when you pick that subject to study and spend thousands on, all it would of taken is 10 seconds to think "Hmm, should I pick this? is there lots of jobs going for gender study students?"

So this is what /r/MensRights is becoming...

2013-05-22T16:36:02+00:00

lol

I don't even.

_Mclintock · 2013-05-22T20:14:33+00:00

Of all the gender studies student I wouldn't hire, the one who made a freaking sign about it is the one I would hire the last.

stop_stalking_me · 2013-05-22T18:47:32+00:00

I don't think valid means what she thinks it means.

Valid =/= useful

blueoak9 · 2013-05-22T23:08:41+00:00

"Just as valid..."? What does that even mean? Valid on what scale? Obviouolsy not on the employability scale or the utility to bosses scale of the usefulness to society scale.

zomgitsduke · 2013-05-23T00:06:44+00:00

Until you tell her it's just as valid as a degree in theater, THEN she has a problem...

MRMRising · 2013-05-23T00:38:52+00:00

It's valid in the minimum sense, we do not need Gender studies Grads in this economy. We need folks with STEM skills and Tradesman. If she wants to study feminism she can pay for it herself.

cRaZyDaVe23 · 2013-05-23T03:38:50+00:00

art degree here, and no; her degree is made up nonsense.

2013-05-22T19:56:06+00:00

Gold.

WhiteCrake · 2013-05-22T20:35:51+00:00

Its valid... but is it valuable?

YOU'VE GOT A DEGREE IN BALONEY!

dysgraphia_add · 2013-05-24T01:46:45+00:00

Well, if she went on to teach or write, it might be worth something.

There is so much wrong in this thread.

goodknee · 2013-05-22T16:56:18+00:00

and thats why I chose not to get degrees in the fields like these: music English Theater Art

If you're going to get a degree, get a degree thats useful, or don't get a degree..

ScottyBrown · 2013-05-22T18:04:42+00:00

Sorry your propaganda degree didn't teach u how to think. You had to lie about reality to pass

dilatory_tactics · 2013-05-22T23:29:14+00:00

This is why MRA's have a reputation for misogyny...this has nothing to do with Men's Rights.

Jesus this thread is fucking embarrassing. Anybody who isn't a glorious STEM masterrace is getting mocked beyond belief. Fuck you guys.
