This applies to Gender Studies as well, which is basically the same thing.

I'm forty now so I can remember a time when universities didn't offer anything like Women's Studies. I'm not going to go into the need for the program, I do think there is, though not at the major level. IMO, it should be part of the History or Humanities curricula, not a separate major.

I have met many women that have taken and have degrees in women's studies over the years. The number of WS majors far exceeds the number of degrees I've met for any other majors.

Why is this? Do they think it will help them get a job or is it something to do to pass the time? Every WS major I've met has either had a low level job or is unemployed. What is the logic in choosing Women's Studies as a major, because many woman I've met have gone that route.
