Is it my misconception, or is this the official forum for lesbians?

Question

From my experience in this forum and 'Womens's Studies' courses I took in college, woman's studies seems more and more like a place for man-hating women to vent their anger. I mean, the history they teach is biased. The philosophy they teach is biased. The physiology they teach is biased. The supposed gender-studies are biased. Lastly, the teachers are bias. I don't believe women participate in this subject to learn, but to vent their anger and hatred of men, and to find other women who share the same hatred. It seems like a cult or a training camp for the 'man-haters of tomorrow'. I mean, if men every tried to teach such a biased woman-hating course, they would never hear the end of it! I mean, is it just me, or is this just a 'spite-men' course?

Sorry for saying 'I mean' all the time. It's a bad habit I'm trying to break.

Answer 1

Useless degree, useless study.

I went to a commencement ceremony at Scripps once. Gloria Steinem was addressing the graduates.

In between cliched 60's catch phrases
and 'men ,evil bad men' tirades,I just went"Uhgh,I simply
don't have room for it."And then I noticed..
All these people around me in the audience at the ceremony were rich white republicans from Orange County,"What gives?"
And yet,their idealistic little dangerously funded offspring are the antithesis of their
parents intentions.It's a big *** party.
Except they SAY they hate men,opting
to **** them instead in the dorm after
curfew when none of the real butch ones are watching.Same old story,..biology always wins.

i think anything now-a-days geared to a specific study is a tad biased. women's studies...african-american studies...(not being racist here. just an example) there seems to be a deep rooted thread of pressured division among people. i don't know where it comes from but we have this underlying programmed message in our brains that tells us to set ourselves apart from everyone else. we focus a lot on what makes us individuals rather than on what makes us the same. yeah, we are all individuals but everyone knows this and it's much easier to stay that way than to try to unite with anyone. it's all related. and we wonder why there's no unity. there's too much competition and internal warfare between individual people who think their opinions make the world turn.

Answer 3

I think female empowerment is the key. Many feel lesbians are men haters I dont think thats true. However these women have found a way in a society that dominates us sexually to find satisfaction without a man.

Answer 4

I will be doing Womens Studies as a minor with psychology major, and also have joined the Women's Forum at my college. It has nothing to do with hating men or being a lesbian, for me that is. I think there are probably some women like that, but for me, it's to learn more what I should be like and empower myself with that knowledge. I don't need to join a group to learn what not to like about men. I need to know what to like about myself so I can make better choices about liking men. Make sense?

That's the personal reason for joining, versus all the other reasons. You asked for personal by assuming all must be gay or hateful or something though....

Answer 5

properly, darling, the main annoying is in all risk the "you could't be ethical once you're an atheist" undertaking that any such super form of have already stated. extreme up on my hit parade of maximum annoying misconceptions is that we are all rebellious young infants (i'm almost 50), and that we are all depressed, nihilistic losers (i've got in no way widely used a wittier, funnier, greater valuable team of individuals than the atheists i've got met on right here). additionally extreme I my checklist is the ever known "properly, you ought to not incredibly have believed in Jesus/been a real Christian/widely used god/been religious in case you ought to grow to be an atheist." i prefer to snatch each dimwit who burbles that one by potential of the shoulders and shake them til their tooth rattle, shouting "how the **** would you recognize what i in my view believed?" that is purely such an unbelievably, sanctimoniously, smugly conceited undertaking to declare. I easily have a matching reaction to the Muslims who purely assume that, via fact i'm an atheist, it will be via fact i don't understand something approximately Islam (the implication being that i'd be a Muslim if I knew something approximately their faith), and that, if I disagree with Islam, it will be via fact i'd desire to observe Fox information. It drives me bonkers to have people who ***** approximately stereotypes then stereotype me. To counter it, I purely stay my life...I sometimes attempt to instruct human beings on right here that their assumptions are incorrect, yet i don't think of i'm getting by way of to too a lot of them, so I attempt to not permit it worry me too plenty.

Answer 6

I think its a misconception on your part. I'm male and for the most part, I usually see pervy questions about women, asked by men, usually of the "Does size matter?" or "Ladies, do you spit or swallow?" type variety. A shame really. I've seen very few of the militant feminists you described, asking and answering questions on this forum.

Answer 7

I'll go along with you.....
The hallowed halls of alleged "higher education" have been spewing out trash and garbage for years.....
revisionist history, man-hating, pro-abortion, pro-gay and lesbian, ridiculing just about any traditional American value, and so on.

This will probably change when the Muslims, or maybe the Chinese, take over this country. It won't be difficult for them because all the Americans will be too liberal or too apathetic to fight back.

Answer 8

Thank you for speaking up !!! bravo clap ! clap !
It is about time that someone of the female gender has enough guts to really see things how they are.
The overall outcome of all this anger and frustration in our universities throughout this country has affected our court systems and our laws.Discrimination towards men has been prevalent through out the past 20 years at least,especially when it concerns "father's rights"
Children growing up have missed out on spending time with their fathers because of the discriminatory laws in this country and this has bred hatred towards men,even from the children who have missed out on spending time with their fathers because of bitter women.
Thank you again for speaking up on this issue.
I guess Melody was one of those lesbian woman in the classroom you were speaking about ..lol..i gave her a bad rating for her answer...boo boo thumbs down for her

Answer 9

You are somewhat right. Look at what men have done to women and how they've treated women in the past, so it seems right that there would be some bad feelings in dredging all this up in a study course.

Answer 10

Seems to me that you are seeking it out!! I don't notice an abundance of lesbians on this site. And, if I took courses called 'Women's Studies".... I'd expect to hear about women!!!
