<p>so i applied as a womens studies major because i have nooo clue on what i want to do and thought that it would be nice to be in a class with all women while i was still deciding on what to really major in. can anyone tell me anything about majoring in womens studies at ucla? this is all of course if i get in. are the women going to be as beautiful as i hope or just full of feminists? this is not a troll post. i really need some input.</p>
<p>wait, did u join for the girls?</p>
<p>Well, From what I know, Women’s studies is about history, arts, culture, languages, civil rights, feminism, etc.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sigh. This makes me really sad. </p>
<p>I’m really too tired to go into the discussion revolving around the term “feminist”. Otherwise, I’d get all heated up.</p>
<p>You’re in the major for an enormously wrong reason. I would advise you to be just be undeclared (you don’t really have to do anything, just take courses as if you were undeclared and switch into a major when you’ve figured it out). If you care to have your mind opened, take the introductory course: Wom Std 10.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree with that.</p>
<p>yes i joined for the girls…ive visited ucla a couple of times and found that ucla chicks are pretty so i thought to myself… “Why not just join a class full of them while still deciding on what i want to do?” </p>
<p>so Mr.Pink, is intro women studies 10 going to be mostly all women also??</p>
<p>You know what it’ll be funny
if women studies classes don’t have a lot of women.</p>
<p>^ i will immediately switch into a different major then.</p>
<p>hahaha, well…</p>
<p>IDK, I guess it’ll be fine dude.</p>
<p>I suppose you can join in for the ladies, I’m sure it’ll be fun</p>
<p>Hold on! A true feminist (and I consider myself in that category) loves men who love women for being women. And. . . this fellow might actually LEARN something!</p>
<p>My son’s best friend took a sewing class in high school (same reason, figured he’d be in a room full of girls, and what could be better than that!) and he came out an absolutely brilliant sewer – even started his own ipod pouch business – does beautiful work.</p>
<p>“loves men who love women for being women”</p>
<p>huh? what does that even mean?</p>
<p>Well, when you put it that way, UCLA77, you make everything sound so nice. Haha.</p>
<p>I’m a feminist, too. WS minor. I just dislike when these sort of conclusions are jumped to… I didn’t totally discourage him from taking the WS intro course.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was going to say something along the lines of “you have so much growing up to do!” but there’s a c/o-77-er in this thread. Haha.</p>
<p>I love women for being women.</p>
<p>I would like to take a class on the history of the civil rights movement of women someday</p>
<p>“are the women going to be as beautiful as i hope or just full of feminists?”
Beautiful people and feminists are not mutually exclusive. I have no idea where people get this idea. Probably no thanks to Rush Limbaugh’s coining of “feminazi”. A women’s studies class looks the same as any other class, except the female to male ratio.</p>
<p>"is intro women studies 10 going to be mostly all women also??
Yes, but there will also be a sizable group of guys because the class fulfills a GE requirement.</p>
<p>“I’m really too tired to go into the discussion revolving around the term “feminist”. If you care to have your mind opened, take the introductory course: Wom Std 10.”
MrPink, I echo your sentiments on that. I’d also rec Women’s Studies 10. I went into it because it fulfilled a GE requirement, but I learned so much. Because of that class, I went on to take a few other WS classes (some were cross departmental w/ the Psych, Anthropology, and Sociology departments).</p>
<p>“Women’s studies is about history, arts, culture, languages, civil rights, feminism, etc.”
Hmmm, not exactly…</p>
<p>Thank you, cheesecake.</p>
<p>im a male and a ucla women’s studies major student! :)</p>
<p>There are many definitions of feminism, as you will learn in Women’s Studies ;-)</p>
