Should gender and women's studies be split into two categories - one for Misandry and one for Misogyny?

They both fall under the gender studies part, but having gender studies lumped with feminism seems to make no sense.

"women's studies
noun
an interdisciplinary program of studies, as at a university, focusing on women's roles in society and culture."

as you can see women's studies is not exclusive to the feminist perspective. i think though, we should separate the two because gender studies focuses on sexual differences and how they are influenced by race, culture, and class. that to me is far more interesting than women's studies. i for one could live without all the hate here and maybe all the haters from both sides would hang in women's studies.

I think if you did that all of the misogynists would frequent the misandry catagory and all of the misandrists would frequent the misogyny catagory

then both sides would complain about the other side not staying in thier own catagory

No I think that some people need to grow up and not treat an online category as a lisense to be petty and nasty just because they can. They know who they are.

How about three - misandry, mysogyny and equalism? I would classify myself as an equalist. If there were only two categories, I wouldn't know where to go!

Now we both know that people from one side would go over to the other side to start fights and troll!

Plus we would also need a third section, for those of us who can civilly debate and discuss things, but that too would get flooded with those looking to start trouble.
