Personally I think the days of universities teaching critical thinking skills have long gone the way of the dodo.

That'a view then again you also like Terry McCrann. Lack of critical thinking I would have thought.

What's the whole point of gender studies anyways? What does it prepare you professionnally to do... apart from teaching gender studies?

That's why I went into legal studies and then joined the police instead of following my initial passion, history. I don't want to teach, and the other jobs related to that field are way too niche.

Might assist in getting rid of gender based harrasmsent at some police stations and in policing careers.

Little bit of letting off steam. May have even had 2 light beers tonight as he's staring holidays.

I suppose it depends upon whether you see tertiary study as a means of getting vocational training, like a glorified TAFE, or enabling people to learn important critical thinking skills.

Worth a discussion on its own, this. Universities are trying to have their cake and eat it too.
