<p>Friedman, you have a habit of making useless, unwarranted remarks. They seem to hide a tinge of homophobia in them as well. </p>
<p>I don’t know of anyone on CC who has majored in pure gender studies, but I study (indirectly) gender studies and gender/sexuality issues! So, I can definitely help here. To those asking what type of classes do gender studies majors take? It’s a subset (primarily) of sociology, so you end up studying theories of gender, the history of gender, politically gendered issues, gender and law, etc. </p>
<p>The best gender studies university? Hands down, no question, UC Berkeley. After that, other excellent programs are NYU, UCLA, Rutgers, Michigan UC Santa Barbra, UW-Madsion, UMD, UMass Amherst and Brown. Personally, I find Berkeley, UCLA, NYU and Rutgers to have the best programs. I find Brown attractive because it’s host to Anne Fasto-Sterling (but she’s more on the science/biology side of sex and gender and focuses more on the genetics of non-binary sex)</p>
<p>Chicago isn’t very impressive for gender studies (they don’t have any very well-known professors to my knowledge) </p>
<p>I’d be happy to help further if I can.</p>
