who does this actually help?

is this really just another psych experiment to see how easy it is to control women?

how many tests do they have to do? we know women are more likely to go along with this kind of crap to conform and not stand out, be shamed into stuff, believe certain things are empowering rather than shaming and degrading depending how it’s sold to them.

Remember that old slander “Your mother wears army shoes”? Doesn’t quite have that same punch, does it?

Women and Gender Studies Professor...

Whoa. Who saw that one coming?

Student Stephanie Robinson said it was a “life changing experience.”

Which leads us to wonder just how incredibly boring young Stephanie's life was before. It's all better now, though.

Participant and student Jaqueline Gonzalez said the experience allowed her to start on a path of activism.

Wow, pit hair is apparently some pretty magical stuff. Inasmuch as an "activist" is a busybody dedicated to telling other people how to live, though, I'm guessing Jacky had it in her all along.

"The experience helped me better understand how pervasive gendered socialization is in our culture."

Funeral services for the English language will be held in the Quad this evening...

OK, girls, here's your chance for extra graduation credits: spray your upper lip, amp pits, and nether regions with Miracle Grow. Grow a caterpillar lip and braids for your arm pits and “down South” areas. For you guys, just bathe in Miracle Grow so you can become a faux gorilla.

Always striving to enhance the value of a Gender Studies BA. The Master’s Program offers credit for not bathing for two years. Imagine what the PhD program will offer.

If men shave another man’s body from the neck down, they get extra credit in Gay Studies.

Remember, it’s ASU that is partnering with Starbuck’s Coffee to let baristas earn a degree online.

Dropping her in the desert with a compass and no clothes is a life changing experience. Not shaving her pits and legs is a joke.

As an Alum, I am disgusted and disappointed. This kind of garbage along with HUGE tuition increases has happened the last 10 years (rapidly) under the tenure of ASU President Michael Crow. He would like ASU to be the “Harvard of the West”. (cough)

I can see this on a line in the student’s CV. One that’s bound to help get her a job...

2014 - did not shave leg hair

Feminists are just wrong, but I don’t care if women want to grow armpit and leg hair like monkeys. If they wore proper dresses, it wouldn’t show anyway.

I am baffled by that and many other degrees. College is very expensive to begin with. Add that to a useless degree and you have a person that is now in debt, wasted 4 or more years of their lives and have little chance of decent wages. It’s just crazy.

VT ( now AZ Cards ) QB Logan Thomas was listed on his team page as majoring in women’s studies.

If a guy has an accident with the Buck Knife does he get an automatic degree in transgender studies?
