Top definition
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!

An academic field created out of thin air and built on a foundation of bullshit. It recruits unsocialized, lesbian undergraduates and teaches them the proper technique for blaming all of their real and imaginary problems on a hypothetical, ancient, patriarchal conspiracy.
Gender Studies should be a fascinating subject but it’s only studied by insane people.

Gender studies is an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to analysing gender identity and gendered representation. It includes women's studies (concerning women, feminism, gender, and politics), men's studies and queer studies. Its rise to prominence, especially in Western universities after 1990, has been noted as a success of deconstructionism. Sometimes, gender studies is offered together with study of sexuality. These disciplines study gender and sexuality in the fields of literature, linguistics, human geography, history, political science, archaeology, economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology, cinema, media studies, human development, law, public health and medicine. It also analyses how race, ethnicity, location, class, nationality, and disability intersect with the categories of gender and sexuality.
Gender studies could also be called gender-oriented sociology
