Some guy asked in Social ScienceGender Studies · 1 decade ago

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.

    Right, then all the people with the same views can be isolated into groups where they all agree with each other and are never challenged. Bit boring.

    I know for sure that a lot of the men-hating feminist supremacists on the forum would love that kind of apartheid. But it wouldn't get normal people anywhere.

    It would make a lot more sense just to chuck out the men-hating feminist supremacists.

    Yes, let's encourage the hate by providing more opportunities for them to express their hatred.

    Brilliant.
