If anyone can name any sort of useful skills that you get from those classes I'd be pretty surprised

I know a psychologist who took gender study classes to further his ability to deal with patients.

2019-11-14 20:43:38 UTC  

Critical thinking, writing, reading comprehension, interpersonal skills...

2019-11-14 20:44:00 UTC  

A lot of the skills other liberal arts majors bring

2019-11-14 21:10:52 UTC  

That isn't really an argument in it's favor, you can learn all of those very basic skills in the most basic of college and even high school classes without wasting your career potential and money. It's also rooted in ideology and confirmation bias instead of being a true science, which doesn't bode well for it's usefulness as an academic subject (and also why students barely enroll in these classes and why universities are cutting these classes).

2019-11-14 21:13:54 UTC  

And I meant skills that are unique to taking gender studies classes, if you had unique useful skills with those then there would be much more career potential

GG @Togger, you just advanced to level 6!

2019-11-14 21:18:38 UTC  

there are 2

2019-11-14 21:23:52 UTC  

2 what? Because there aren't even only 2 sexes

2019-11-14 21:24:02 UTC  

But I assume you're talking about gender

2019-11-14 21:24:05 UTC  

Which is even more silly

2019-11-14 21:24:28 UTC  

What's the third one, Cosby?

2019-11-14 21:24:39 UTC  

In our case, ofc.

2019-11-14 21:24:50 UTC  

Please don't bring up hermaphrodite frogs.

2019-11-14 21:26:13 UTC  

there are 2 biological sexes and intersex, i don't care about what people identify as much since that's different

2019-11-14 21:26:20 UTC  

Here are some

2019-11-14 21:26:37 UTC  

X – Roughly 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 5,000 people (Turner’s )
XX – Most common form of female
XXY – Roughly 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 people (Klinefelter)
XY – Most common form of male
XYY – Roughly 1 out of 1,000 people
XXXY – Roughly 1 in 18,000 to 1 in 50,000 births

2019-11-14 21:26:52 UTC  

Fairly common, all things considered

2019-11-14 21:27:07 UTC  

@Cobra Commander that can be said about all liberal arts degrees
But if you go beyond the basic level you will obviously get better.
For example, I as an English major am a much better writer than my friend with rheir master's degree in biochemistry

2019-11-14 21:27:30 UTC  

I suppose you could make the argument that these aren't "truly" sexes? I'm not a biologist - I don't know the full reason why it's defined as such

2019-11-14 21:27:31 UTC  

stem majors are garbage at critical analysis

2019-11-14 21:27:38 UTC  

So, now karyotypes equal sexes?

2019-11-14 21:27:44 UTC  

Yes, you can, lol.

2019-11-14 21:29:12 UTC  

This article is making me cringe.

2019-11-14 21:29:14 UTC  

bitchs only have pussy

2019-11-14 21:29:26 UTC  

I agree Togger, even within liberal arts degrees there is a whole lot of variation

2019-11-14 21:29:29 UTC  

Untying gender from sex is so brutally wrong.

2019-11-14 21:29:31 UTC  

Seems like it's a bit more complicated than you want to make it seem

2019-11-14 21:29:42 UTC  

As far as "sex" is concerned

2019-11-14 21:29:45 UTC  

Why is it wrong Vlad?

2019-11-14 21:29:50 UTC  

Gender is a concpet

2019-11-14 21:29:54 UTC  

that exists

2019-11-14 21:29:55 UTC  

As far as "gender" is concerned, you're completely wrong

2019-11-14 21:30:04 UTC  

(vlad)

2019-11-14 21:30:06 UTC  

Or so it seems

2019-11-14 21:30:08 UTC  

Because both are closely related.

2019-11-14 21:30:32 UTC  

Closely related, only because "normal" people identify with a gender that matches their biological sex
