[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]people are acting like the issue is "switching majors."
No. It's that gender studies is a waste of time and money.
My kid can go ahead and waste his/her time and money, fine by me.
But I'm not wasting my money on that.

Maybe.  But I think that most parents would be hurt to find out that their kid changed from English major to History major, for instance, and didn't even mention it to them, never once talked to them about doing that.  When someone asks them what their kid is studying in college and the parent, thinking they know their own kid, proudly says "English" only to find out later that the kid wasn't studying English at all....that would be kind of lousy.

I once knew a lady who used to talk about her daughter being in med school.  I (and I think most people) assumed that the young woman was studying to become a doctor.  Later on (maybe a year or so), the mom mentioned that her daughter was in med school to become a physical therapist.  [/quote]
