There's Female Studies, but there is an incredible lack of Male Studies.
You'll never take a class regarding "Male Gender Studies in Early America". There's a Female class, but no Males one.
Please don't tell me it's because "men already dominate the world". If you look at female studies, they focus on the "domestic sphere" and sexuality. Male studies should be the same thing, with emphasis on the "Public Sphere" and sexuality.
For example, if we take Colonial America. There's plenty on what girls should be and their lives being centered on domesticity. If we look at men, sure their lives are centered on work, but how about men that do not live up to this? Black Male Slaves and their problems of feminitiy? Young men forced to work jobs just because society forces it on them. Any mental problems?
