Its not just this forum, most major Universities have 'women's studies' which I think degrades women. What do you think?

if intentionally or not a segment of any population were being overlooked, doesn't it make sense to place a spotlight on them and their accomplishments?
Not just gender or ethnicity... if you were a crucial participant but never team leader on a series of projects, none of which would have been nearly as successful without you, don't you deserve recognition as well?
same thing.

Are Women's Studies another veiled form of male-dominated sexism? No. Male-dominated sexism would have something like "Men's Studies"!

If you're so upset about it, go here: http://www.petitiononline.com/rm112289/petition.html and sign a petition to have this board renamed "Gender Studies." We only have 21 signatures so far.
