My friend Russell (we call him Russ for short) is majoring in women’s studies and doing a minor in history. As one of his friends, we sometimes joke around and tease him about it - but honestly we couldn’t really care less. But he tells us that he is like the only guy in the class with a whole bunch of women…lol So that just made me wonder if you thought it was a weird choice for a guy to major in women’s studies.\n\nP.S. ~ Since you don’t know him anyways, I just used his real name - and no… it’s not secretly me I’m talking about.

It is absolutely not weird.  I teach lots of courses that are cross-listed with women's studies, and I always have men in those courses. \n\nActually, these days most women's studies courses really do "gender studies," and include the study of various constructions of masculinity.\n\nBottom line - what your friend is really studying is gender and history, and that's a great thing for anyone to be doing, regardless of whether they are male or female.\n\nSo quit teasing the guy -- and start picking on the business majors -- they're the folks that really deserve to be given some grief.  *No one* should aspire to become a corporate clone...  until they're over forty.   ;)

Can't help you with a definitive answer, except to observe that it's a bit pompous to note honorifics "out of context" and I see too many folks stringing together titles just for the sake of puffing-up.\n\nI mean really, do we care that Jane Blow has a BA and a Certificate of Completion from Community College in Home Basketweaving?\n\n;^)

Provided you know her credentials inside and out {in other words, you know for ironclad fact that you are the 'better scholar'}, it would seem that they did use some bigotry to decide.\n\nHowever, what was the project on?  It might be that the woman is simply more inherently equipped to handle the topic.  Perhaps she had something unique and special that, while remaining off a resume, really did give her a deserved boost above you.\n\nDon't be hasty to judge; on the other hand, my sympathies.

Ha ha ha!  Somebody's read "A Confederacy of Dunces", right?  Well, since my girlfriend doesn't spend much time on Answers, I can answer for her.\n\nI am unlike a Mongoloid in that I am quite erudite.  Sometimes my eloquence exceeds the capacities of those around me and I am forced to reduce the complexity of my vocabulary tenfold.  I interact quite well with others of my caliber and I am even emotionally sensitive when it is called for.\n\nPerhaps this is more of a rhetorical question aimed at expressing your disgust with the male gender?  Perhaps a relationship of yours turned sour and now you think all men are pigs, right?

Some men are intimidated by a female who is very intelligent and/or beautiful.  They don't think they will add up.  Try not revealing everything about yourself all at once.  I know your proud of your degrees, but let these men know slowly about all of this.

Are you crazy? Hardly. Are there women out there like that? Of course. We're all very different.\n\nPS: Did anyone else notice that a guy asked this? Not that it makes any difference, I just noticed that a lot of the answers were directly pitched to women!

In what context?  And just where are you from?\n\nHow do "so many" men act like women.  And just how many men do you know anyway?\n\nIs this a good thing?  A bad thing?  A good thing for women, but bad for men?  A good thing for men, etc.....\n\nI am very feminine in most ways, but I act like a stereotypical guy in others - for instance, I leave dirty clothes scattered around.  My husband is macho, but loves roses like I do and is awesomely romantic.\n\n\nThe thing is, we are people first, and male or female second (or third, fourth....).  When you say that "Only women should act like this" or "Men should never act like that" you are placing artificial boundaries on people's behavior, and that can only be detrimental to our world.  Only by allowing all of us to employ what works the best for us regardless of archaic sex roles will our society even have a chance at fulfilling our potential.

..I've heard of some guys, asking girlfriends to come to their bachelor pads, to 'take a look at their etchings' !\n...But honey, this is the 1st time ever, I've come across one of my own sex who is inviting others to come see her wisdom teeth !\nViva, women's liberation, dear. You've REALLY come a long way up in life, Stacey ! :-))

I'm a little concerned that anyone who types like that has made it to an Advanced Communication Skills course...\n\nIn addition, I'm sure you realize that most professors want you to use actual studies where the information has been confirmed in your papers.  You can't confirm that information gathered from an online post-board holds any real validity.  Try using JSTOR for journal articles about prostitution.

Tuesday January 24, 2006 \n\nand I had a crazy weekend.  I told Kina about Brian.  I really regret even beginning anything with him it was just because of curiosity and not only was it a waste of time, (because I love Kina too much to end things) but it didnt satisfy any curiosity that I had.  I liked Brian because he was funny and he wanted me.  But then I broke it down and figured out why ?  Because he knows i am taken.  He is only 23, he has massive amounts of women that he knows well and chills with them.  He just liked the challange.  But I never did anything like that with him.  Althought I did want to, the fact remains, Kina does me o-so-well.  Maybe sometimes he will conk out or his buddy might get a lil tired, he does make a valid effort to make sure my hearing goes down when we are done (lol) and he is the only one who knows what to say and how to say it..\naaanyway so I am at work, thinking about food.  my salvation.  Grub.  Well i am probably going home today.  I havent been home since Friday the 20th damn right?  I miss my pup.  Xeeny Weeny.  I miss her so fuckin much.  You know what i dont really miss?  MYSPACE!  at work I miss it but i have psycho steve monitering my every myspace move.  That shit head.  And he swears up and down to Lauren that Kay told him she was with Ryan that night.  He denies it.  But i believe my sister over anybody.  and Kay knows that, so what is he hiding?  I dont know, so much shit.  I really want to have my own place.  I want to feel freedom.  But i dont want a lot of bills.  Kina said when i talk about moving in with him I make it seem so farefetched.  And its true, when I think about it, I feel like even thought I want it so bad, it is almost impossible to happen.  What Kina wont hear me say is that I dont have a lot of faith in him to do the right thing so I feel our chances of making it together are slim to none.  I hope that I am wrong.  But im not getting any younger.  What am I really trying to say?  I dont fucking know man.  i really dont.

you should most likely just relax because it's probably not the poor girl's fault. \n\ni had a business communications teacher that docked me for saying "waitors and waitresses" instead of "waitstaff," using "he" when i was talking about managers (because "they" is gramatically incorrect and "he" is accepted as being gender neutral in these cases), and even *GASP!* for not having any females in my clipart haha\n\nsadly, some people take feminism (and no doubt masculinity) to the next and most extreme level.\n\ncheers!

Lesbians are violent macho motorcycle-fixing fist-fighting vagina hunters desperate enough to have a U-Haul hitched to their car at all times to help their byotch move in at a moment's notice...\n\n...at least that's what LOTS of str8 girls think.\n\nAnd offense?  Hell yes-- but you might as well get ready for a lifetime of stupid people who barely have time to be distracted from their double-mocha-freeky-latte rather than experience things and people that might involve something slighty different from themselves.\n\nMove on -- and find someone more tolerant, because, is it REALLY worth your time to convert some idiot's opinion in your first semester?  Save your time for studying and hangin with your tolerant/accepting friends-- unless you fit the stereotype above...\n\n\nGood Luck :)

The other day i met a guy i graduated from high school w  had not seen him in yrs    he was always a good looking boy and now a very handsome man! he came up to me and gave me a hug and i responded w how are u  long time no see!  as we chatted he informed me he just quit the navy to be closer to home....well as we chatted and caught up for yrs of life in no more than what was really 2 minutes at the most of conversation,  and heavy set women w short hair and glasses approached us  w a look of death on her face  now no one else was in room except my self and my lt. commander b/f (i was not alone either)  she continued to walk up to this once brave and driven man and accuse him of wanting to fuc_ me!  Now i am not from this kind of group of women  so of course it made me mad to be accused of such ridiculous accusations, and i WAS w a guy who knew we had obviously not seen each other since graduation from the first conversation!   so what do u think this Navy man's reaction was?   Nope, he bowed down like a puss_  the name i do not use often  but he earned it    i told him   what happened to the man i once knew  would never had tolerated his gal treating strangers, or ole chums in such a fashion...  i was put in a very awkward position,,,,my man told him to adjust his wife,,,(on order)  and he then followed orders to shut her up.... when it came down to    he cowboyed up found his tongue and wrote my man an e-mail and said he for the first time found the peace.... he left her! eheheheh   Why did such a guy change from a man to a puss_?   Why did she have such control   she was not pretty  overweight  and loud    he was still same man other than panty whipped!   he could certainly find a good women  so why did she act so possessive? why did he let her??? ive been seeing this all too often now  and as a women i am not pleased w the idea that jealousy rules a relationship   jealousy is a form of hatred for an enemy,  and love is not an enemy!  \n     good luck!

I think that he sounds like a very awkward man and now that you have finished your degree, you can be more choosy!\n\nI too have left work to finish my degree and there is abolutely no way that I would go back to any of my old jobs. I am aiming higher this time and I think you should do yourself justice and do the same.\n\nGo for it and who knows where you might end up!! Good luck whatever you decide to do!!

Wow.  This one is a doozy.  First, I wanted to let you know that I've been where you are and that you really have no concrete way of knowing whether the "mistake" you think you may have made is a "good" or "bad" decision.  As for the "other" program, are you sure you can't get in?  It's never too late to try.  Even if you try and don't get in, you can always try to strengthen you portfolio/resume/cv and try again next semester/year.  As for being a "nobody," I don't think that's true.  We live in a society that constantly bombards us with the impression that if we are not beautiful, rich, and successful (on society's terms) that we are failures or a "nobody." I personally happen to believe that every human being carries with her or him a spark of the divine, and that this alone makes us all "somebody."  It sounds like you are really striving to do something good for yourself, keep trying, and don't let these bumps in the road get you down.

I think its good for guys who have no idea on how to approach or date women\n\nBUT\n\nthat all depends on what theyre teaching the students. If theyre NOT teaching them how to respect women as human beings then I think its a ridiculous trend and these guys really need to get a life.\n\nHowever if theyre teaching functional respectful dating and flirting techniques then yes there are guys out there who really need to learn as much of this stuff as possible for the good of the human race and mens reputation in general LOL!\n\nBecause truth is some of these guys out there are giving us a bad reputation and they need all the proper schooling they can possibly get to prevent creating all the jaded women we're seeing these days.\n\nWe have too many little boys in mens bodies and not enough real men out there in this day and age
