A branch of sociology offered by many universities as a separate degree.
More socially conservative individuals tend to decry Gender Studies as a useless compared to something like a STEM degree, even though most degrees that can be obtained in a university don't directly lead to anything on their own - there probably isn't a single job that asks specifically for an Art History degree in the application, for instance, but you still see many graduates of that subject comfortably entering the workforce.
Like most liberal arts, the subject is mainly written, so many who take this subject actually end up going to law school.
If an employer that said "any degree applicable" on the application rejects you on the grounds of your degree being in Gender Studies, you probably wouldn't end up liking working for them anyways.
Also, men are welcome. It's not a bunch of feminist straw-women in a lecture hall all the time.

Alice: I'm taking Gender Studies as I find the subject interesting, and I want to attend law school at postgraduate level.
Bob: Useless, it doesn't land you a job 0.1 seconds after completing it!
Alice: It's been 2 years since you got that Literature degree and you're still in Gramps' basement.

Get the Studiosickness mug.The German word for one who dedicates their life to the study of observations made by a groundhog upon its own shadow. They spend a lifetime to be able to correctly predict weather there will be six more weeks of winter based on Punxsutawney Phil's reaction to his shadow.
Although some might scoff at such a profession, modern science has not produced a better way to predict winter's end.

Get the Studiumdermurmeltierbeobachtungvonschatten mug.One thing you notice about studies is that they tend to come up with repetitive (if not exactly the same) answers over time, and the answers tend to be authoritative.
The point of the studies if their is one, seems to be to tell peole what to do or how to live, though the same kinds of people that conduct them never want anybody to do the same thing with them (a taste of their own medicine).
