Reports of the department's death may have been greatly exaggerated.
  • I'm kind of curious...

    We're often told what a sexist "old boy's club" academia has been (and still is?). But from the early 70's until the mid-80s, something like a couple HUNDRED Women's Studies departments opened-up all throughout the sexist "old boy's club" of academia which, supposedly, is ever so hostile to women and constantly finding ways to oppress them.

    That "old boy's club" must've been taking a good, long nap while all of those new WS departments were opening-up shop so quickly, eh? You'd imagine that Teh Oppressive Patriarchy would've put-up stiffer resistance.

    Oh, and when is the Teh Oppressive Patriarchy going to stick the Broadsheet contributors into a concentration camp? You'd imagine they would have done that by now...
