Gender studies under threat worldwide, says subject pioneer

Academic freedoms need to be preserved which includes exploring area that not everyone finds relevant to everyday life... although I must admit to finding 'gender studies' a peculiar beast, driven more by ideological feminism than pure academic inquiry, and often seems to promote a vision of a world in which there is inequality between genders rather than address it with the intention of redressing perceived inequality. As a side-branch of history there may be some merit to it, in analysing a past male-centric world, but it seems often to perpetuate differences between the genders when the modern concensus is that men and women are equals.

Judging by the comments made on social media by gender studies lecturers from various English universities and the graduates they've produced, I seriously doubt there's anything academic about gender studies. Or anything particularly feminist either. Pomo claptrap that should be consigned to the dustbin of history.
