Gender studies lecturer about biology: "Not interested, you're stupid" - teaches about men and masculinity.

Saying you're not interested in biology, when studying humans, is like saying you're not interested in algorithms, when studying computers.

It's no wonder Gender Studies is so useless.

I love how the academic is using the Tumblr style tactic of saying "I don't care" and then continuing to respond.

In Linguistic Anthropology we learned that the way you talk is the way you think. Language is of the mind, not the mouth. There is absolutely no way a persons concept of gender equality can be defined by a female-centric term, "feminist" and not be biased towards the female gender in applications of equality. The very term itself, "feminist" creates a female privilege and promotes the matriarchy. Evidence of the matriarchy? Over the course of a lifetime woman work about 66% of the hours men work, yet still make about 75% of the $$ a man makes.

The blinders are strong on that one.

"I'm not so sure about the idea that feminism is pervasive and one-sided in universities."

LOL completely ridiculous, coming from a feminist who teaches a course in "men and masculinities" and who references Connell and Kimmel as authorities on the subject.

Truly laughable.

I'm glad to see classes are being taught about masculinity and men, that's awesome!

I don't really see the problem here. Reading through this, I would say "FEMACADEMIC" won the argument pretty handily. Why should biology have a place in a sociology course? They might be related, but they're different subjects. "EVIL MRA" comes across as complaining because his/her view isn't presented in the curriculum but doesn't ever back up why it should be.

Also OP's quote from the title isn't anywhere in the text.

The names have been changed so there's no brigading. The part where "evil mra" starts questioning them is where the fun begins.

This serves as a fine example of the disgraceful state of university gender studies courses.

Congrats OP on making us all look stupid. Sociology is a very specific science and that professor is teaching a very specific class with a lot of material. So what if they don't mention evolution? This is like attending a seminar on neurosurgery and being upset that the lecturer doesn't talk about mitochondria. It's just fucking weird.

Lol woman teaching about masculinity. Well, not masculinity but "masculinity"

Yes, any college course that is limited in scope is obviously shit. I mean, I took a mathematics class that didn't mention biology, when biologically speaking, the structure of the human brain is what allows us to do math in the first place. You can't teach math without biology!
