exactly. so their rightful place in the universe is to hand me my big mac and fries

There is a saying I like, it goes something like: "If you dont believe in socialism before 20 you have no heart. If you believe in socialism after 30 you have no brain".

ya god fucking forbid someone studies something that interests them and spends a few years of their life just finding themselves and having fun

literally only do anything ever if it immediately makes someone profit. if ur having fun then ur a shitbag waste of life scrounger who needs to b executed or switched to a STEM course.

also m8s seriously can u rly not think of a use for humanities degrees? seriously? tolkien studied the fucking classics which by your metric would be completely useless, yet he ended up creating something that many people enjoy and something so economically valuable in the movies that new zealand literally assigned one of their minister of state to help oversee it. it made billions and produced an incredible amount of value.

obv i'm not saying that all media degree grads will do the same, but its fucking asinine to say that they produce nothing economically valuable and is just some fucking compsci faggot degree internet circlejerk shit

i wish there was one that had five reasons for you to stop posting

no m8, you do something that gives you value (be it money or whatnot). Preferably long term. If you really really dig womens studies and work your butthole off you can probably make it work, but it is going to be much much tougher and it might not realisticly lead anywhere. You can't live in your parents basement forever, you have to take care of yourself and fuckign step up. So sure one option is to study something you dont see how you could ever work with and party and have a good time for a few years then regret it the rest of your life doing jobs you really dont want to do. And the other is to get alpha and figure out how what you like to do can get you $$$.

also wow


This is actually kind of frightening. Not even joking :E
Critical objective thinking. Its so 1997. Get on the brainwashmobile *toot* *toot*

u realise the employment rate (at least in the uk) is not actually very different for people graduating in compsci as opposed to for example the classics or history? seriously there is very little difference. if you want a job when you graduate be a fucking dentist, not a STEM subject.

and are you seriously comparing gender studies to brainwashing? holy shit what is wrong with you? literally if you disagree even slightly with the mainstream view of gender roles then you're some kind of femininazi lesbian man hater or what? idk wtf is even going thru ur head here

i didn't study women's studies but i had similar opinions to you, i.e.: oh there's no real problems, we're done with that now, feminists are bra burning lesbians, heh etc

then i actually went out and read a bunch of feminist literature to decide if there was anything to it and i came to the conclusion, looking at the evidence, that they had a fucking point. can you honestly say that you've given it the same chance instead of just dismissing it as it doesn't fit into your whole fuckin weltanschauung? if you want i can find you some links/books that are accessible and readable for you to check out.

Feel free to point out articles to read. I do read up on stuff so I can argue with feminists. Basically everyone I know is a self proclaimed feminist so I'm no uneducated in this. I can even agree that there are areas were women are held back, but I dont think there are other solutions than "stop bitching and become role models" that dont impact on the rights of individuals (the most important right in my view. being liberal). You dont become a role model by doing womens studies, it only creates retarded blame games. Are there people doing "Black peoples studies" as an actual university program?? If not how can we justify womens studies?
Granted I have also not checked out exactly what they study but I do read /r/feminism as well as a few feminist blogs and an incredibly skewed world view is very common. Just as much as Bunk. There is just no room for logic.

I feel like we discussed this a million times in the feminist thread tho. It was just an example of a topic that I consider fucking useless (remember after sleep you have 17 hours left of the day. You can spend some of your free time readign whatever you like).

I dont have a problem with people studying whatever as long as they have a plan to become productive citizens somehow (remember this is sweden, my tax money pays for 5 years of studies for everyone so I hope for the money to be used for good). I don't really use much of any skills I picked up in uni and am more or less self taught for the shit I need to do at work, although uni improved my thinking and learning capabilities a lot.

btw in sweden the list in order of highest chance of employment:
1. engineers
2. computer stuff
3. Medicine, especially specialist doctors (we have really fucked up limitations on doctor positions in sweden. its one of the big problems with it)
4. Dentistry
5. Construction worker
6. Practical education, such as mechanics etc
7. Teacher

I tried to find a list of the worst ones. and they listed
- Media & Communication (classic I dont know wtf I want so I'll pick somethign nobody else knows what it is either)
- Sociology studies (would include womens studies I guess?)
- Philosophy. This was worse at only 13% employment chance.

>implying compsci isn't barely a stem subject and full of complete scrubs who think they can be games designers

/r/feminism lol

i havent read it but i imagine like much of reddit, it's full of hyperbolic trash. u may as well read /r/magicskyfairy

also yes there are "black people studies" m8. it's called african-american studies and is not uncommon in the states iirc. in the uk we even have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAS,_Uni ... _of_London which is a very highly rated uni that focuses just on asia/far east/african studies.

as for your list m8 do u have the stats to back that up. because a lot of english people if you asked them what degrees get u employed, they would produce a similar list but the facts are much different.

for example, this data is for 2009/10 and is from the UK's higher education statistics agency:

computer science is literally the worst in terms of employment (b/c kimura is right). though the median wage for tech jobs is higher as per http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog ... skill-jobs

My stats were from 2010 on some government page for study direction. 13% was the only hard number quoted
