General Studies 

Share definition Flag
A subject forced upon sixth formers in the UK, just when they think they have a bit of freedom on the subjects they can choose after compulsory education.

This particular A level subject can be thought as being 'Dinner party conversation Studies', and you'd be spending your time more wisely if you were designing and producing a machine that automatically kicks the back of your seat.

There is no chance of escaping general studies in the first year of sixth form, as Mr Wilson insists that it is his 'passion'. However, Universities have no regard for Mr Wilson's 'passion', and they will not consider a General Studies grade to make you any more acceptable.

Possibly the only advantage to General Studies is that the exam provides some valuable time to catch up on some sleep. I took a nap in my exam and left the exam hall feeling refreshed and ready to continue my day. I got a U, but this is a minor drawback.
David: Aww piss, I really needed to finish that Physics homework before next lesson, but I have General Studies. What do you propose I do?

Miles: Well I've got fire on the brain, so I guess you could do a bit of burning fuel in the classroom, in the hope that it will raze the building?

David: A little extreme, but as I brought seven litres of kerosene in today, it'd be shame to waste it.

gender studies

Share definition Flag
A field of study in universities which takes advantage of young impressionable girls (and beta-males), by convincing them that females are oppressed, and that men are the oppressors. Feminist dogma, and social justice are taught in gender studies classes. This leads these students to believe that, despite living in the most free countries in the most free era ever, that they are living in a tyrannical, futile system, despite all contrary evidence. This is used to justify discrimination against "cisgender heterosexual white males", and any other majority group which may have been overlooked by this definition.

As if to complete a full circle, gender studies can lead to no employment (other than perhaps, gender studies professor). As such, women who graduate cannot get a high-paying job, and contribute to the dumb-ass "wage gap" myth they learned about... In their gender studies class!

Essentially, gender studies is the scourge of academia and truth. Everything is sexist. Everything is racist, everything is homophobic, etc...
Jim:See that fat, blue-haired, crazily tattooed, ridiculously pierced girl wearing 'problematic' glasses?
John: Yeah?
Jim: She's a gender studies major for sure.
Girl: Check your privilege, cishet white male scum!

Elite #1: Alright we need to make even more money pronto, anybody got any pitches!
Elite #2: I got it! We create a new degree for gullible 18 year olds, primarily women, to fall for called “gender studies degree.” It will be a degree that complains about how oppressed women are, and also the gender wage gap, in which the students will pay us hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn about. Then, when they graduate, they will not be able to get any job, thus contributing to the oppression of women, as well as the wage gap they will complain about.
Elite #1: That. Is. FUCKING GENIUS!!! We’re gonna be twice as rich as we were before!
