Today I talked to a friend I haven't heard from in several years. She tells me she got a degree in women's studies. We laughed a bit about how useful that degree is to her career, and when I got off the phone I thought what a travesty it is to even offer Women's Studies as a degree.

Universities are taking all the people who are interested in women's issues and offering them degrees that do absolutely nothing to advance women's interests. If you really want to do something about women's issues you should get a law degree and lobby for issues, or get a business degree and start challenging the glass ceiling, or get a degree in engineering or airline mechanics or any other field where women are underrepresented.

Any of those choices would help advance the cause. You would be qualified to make a difference.

Getting a degree in women's studies doesn't advance anything. It only qualifies you to complain, and you could have done that with a GED.
