I read something about a woman complaining about how there's more women needed in STEM. And this guy asks if she's a women's studies major. She said yes and asks what that had to do with it. So he goes " well, why didn't you do a STEM major rather than women's studies ? " AND SHE DELETED ALL HIS COMMENTS.
A Women's Studies degree is not worthless. It may not give a benefit to any sort of job, but it confers legitimacy to your rants against The Patriarchy, or claims that women earn 75% of what men do (even though the figure isn't adjusted for degrees held, years on the job, type of job, etc.).
The thing is, all the women I know are pro-equality, pro-equal opportunity, etc., but they understand that some characters are fictional and still like Disney even though the movies don't portray modern real women in a realistic light.
To be fair to disney, if it showed modern real women then they would have to stop doing movies based on really old stories that are set in old timey worlds.
I'm pretty sure when all of us say it's worthless we are referring to the fact you can't get a job with it. Yes, you learn stuff, like with all degrees, but after you take it and finish the degree hold no value unless you're arguing with someone.
And most people go to college to get a degree for a job. And like my comment above, a lot of women's studies majors complain about not enough girls in STEM subjects/job when they didn't take those either and actually got a degree that couldn't even get them a job.
