My fiancee suggested a women and gender studies course be an early requirement for #compsci majors, and I totally agree with her. Guys in my major are so tone-deaf, and they're making women uncomfortable.
It makes more sense than my school requiring me to take a nutrition and exercise course (because I think they think console jockeys are fat)
@ikea_femme It's a good idea, a lot of schools do seem to have some kind of similar course for all freshmen except they can't get away with using the term "gender studies" in a state university because the GOP legislators would explode. It's painful how conservative identity is now explicitly built on opposition to understanding and acceptance of anything other than cishet male superiority...
@gzt true, i forgot how touchy they get about certain words. Didn't Rick Scott outlaw state employees discussing global warming? https://witches.town/media/_OVSPwaJKDOM2LqxWWE
@ikea_femme something like that. Or was it Scott Walker? Probably both. At my university, beyond having that course, they have a basic silly little ocmputer sexual harassment / etc training at some point they have to go through before they graduate. One student got one of those conservative groups to bankroll a lawsuit to get out of it. Utterly stupid. And what for?!
