[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women studies? I am a woman and I cringe. Please talk some sense into your child. [b]Would we tell our sons to study Man Studies? [/b]It's nonsense.  I understand a desire to focus on this (Im an executive in business that deals with BS from the patriarchy every day) but getting a degree IN IT is the wrong way. Get a degree in something that can be used to affect change and equality - law, software engineering, medicine, business- find a path where your child can affect change in mgmt., executive or advocacy positions with hard skills. That studies degree is worthless and she will be lucky to get a 40K a year job in DEI at a non-profit. It takes a pretty big trust fund to fund a 18 year old for life- I hope its got 8+ figures in it if she will never have to be self sufficient.[/quote]

Until recently, that was all biomedical studies, cell, animal and human... right down to, amazingly, the first study to determine whether hormone supplementation would be of benefit to menopausal women. Man Studies also includes virtually all safety studies -- from medicines, to chemicals, to crash test dummies, to stab vests, to PPE. It also includes design and engineering -- the size of phones and toilets, the spacing of keys on pianos, the temperature settings for building. Just to name a few. [/quote]

What a great point. So well put.

I noticed this with the COVID trials (disproportionate impact on women’s menstrual cycles that was never accounted for in any of the testing…)[/quote]
