True. Gender Studies programs are insignificant and graduate no students to speak of. The belief that there are crowds of people with degrees in Gender Studies is as realistic as the idea that people take out $200K loans to get PhDs.
There are many serious problems in higher education but they don’t include Gender Studies or expensive PhDs.

“There are many serious problems in higher education but they don’t include Gender Studies…”
Given the current mating /reproduction difficulties and concerns in Western civilization and nations associated with it, that is a very, very strange conclusion. Unless of course, you actually believe that the half a century of anti-male animus produced by second wave feminism did not infect young minds — and not only young college age girls, but subsequent teachers’ behavior spreading that widespread poisoning young children throughout public school.
If you are only referring to financial concerns, well, do you really expect young men to pay to attend institutions where he is considered a second class citizen. Or do you expect continued public financial support for hate groups: removing DEI is only the beginning; all of the rot must be removed.
Remembering a kinder and gentler time ;-D

Is it possible that all these women are upset not because they took gender studies courses in college but for some other reason? Like, for example, maybe they spent some time online?
The gender studies program at my university has one faculty member and the course enrollments for the 2 courses she teaches are tiny. Feel free to imagine that these courses are huge but it’s not what reality is.

No, it is not possible. Imagining that women were somehow hard done was underway by the late 60’s, hell, I actually attended a consciousness raising, briefly, very, very briefly in 66-67. And public funding of the agitprop of womens'(gender) “studies” were well underway in the 70’s and 80’s. While public internet really began in the mid 90’s, by that time, feminism had metastasized from second wave to third.
And yes, despite male typical kindness, I am sure that more than one presumptuous woman got a rather rude awakening online, but sadly the herd is known to be slow to learn. So to conclude this jeremiad, the continued publicly funding of even one faculty member of even one course of even one hate program is still an immoral act — but even us dour oatmeal savages have a sense of humour ;-D

Online behavior stems from real-life attitudes. Only the other day I saw a cute young woman on X share the news that she successfully defended her dissertation and thousands of men with clear signs of severe ED splutter with rage in the comments. I suspect their issues don’t disappear the moment they put their phones down. I also suspect that it isn’t gender studies in college that caused these issues.
