Dept of Women's Studies
Women’s Studies addresses the broad question of how gender (social definitions of femininity and masculinity) operates, both in contemporary life and historically, in Australia and in other cultures. Gender, intersecting with other social orders of difference (principally race, class and sexuality) shapes culture and social institutions, as well as personal identity and relationships. Women’s Studies reflects this wide scope by including social, cultural and political perspectives. It is an interdisciplinary field of knowledge.

OK, I'm actually pretty fucking angry about this. WHY is it called 'Women's' studies? As far as I can see from the course description it is 'Gender' studies, or, just as validly, 'Men's' studies.

Fucking sexist shit.

gotta be a Tranny...

Um, I can't grow one of those just because I want to. It's not like I have to shave to prevent this.

Pretending that all women could grow a moustache if only they were free and liberated is laughable.

I hope she also grew a penis to prove her point.

It's James May's sister!

Anyone else here that grew up in country Victoria, has to remember the late 80's early 90's Dental van that used to attend Primary Schools once a year, and the mustachioed female dentist that worked in the van. We all thought it was a myth, and then everyone had their turn one by one and it was a massive lol once you got back to class.

I lived in Perth in the early 80's and the same nurse visited my school there. True story.

I want to start a Men's studies class where we sit around drinking scotch, smoking cigars and discussing bitches.

I'm guessing the Bachelor bit is right.
Although you're not allowed to suck on a fag in pubs nowadays.
