A branch of sociology offered by many universities as a separate degree. More socially conservative individuals tend to decry Gender Studies as a useless compared to something like a STEM degree, even though most degrees that can be obtained in a university don't directly lead to anything on their own - there probably isn't a single job that asks specifically for an Art History degree in the application, for instance, but you still see many graduates of that subject comfortably entering the workforce. Like most liberal arts, the subject is mainly written, so many who take this subject actually end up going to law school. If an employer that said "any degree applicable" on the application rejects you on the grounds of your degree being in Gender Studies, you probably wouldn't end up liking working for them anyways. Also, men are welcome. It's not a bunch of feminist straw-women in a lecture hall all the time.
