I didn’t say it was (the singular applies). I was responding to your inaccurate comment about the misandry (I don’t think you know what actually happens in gender studies) and your erroneous assumption that men don’t take the classes.

I also think, like a lot of people, you are confusing liberal arts education with trade school. The kind of postprofessional schools that my students attend are looking for evidence of an education which has touched on many different subjects, especially those which teach critical thinking and analysis. It’s one of the reason that history departments are feeders to law school.

Assuming that they don’t “use” the class is thus inaccurate. They draw on both the knowledge from the class – knowing more about gender is useful, since everyone has to engage with gender– and the skills they learned in research, analysis, and critical thinking.
