Winter 2016 - I was one of the 20 males in the class of 180 Now if I said this is class, I would probably offend someone. I am a straight male who grew up in a patriarchal culture before I came to America. I took the class because I heard it was easy. In my point of view, this class was unbearable. Yeah it can be easy, but it's so hard to study when opinions and view points are expected to be accepted as facts. Your grade will HEAVILY depend of your TA. Your TA will grade your midterm and final and your weekly discussions essays (which are 30% of your grade). My TA (L. Reeve) expected all of us to agree with her viewpoints and if I did not my grade would have suffered. Other TAs, emailed their classes on what the essay will be on so they can prepare what facts to study before. Juliet's lecture slides are so useless. The lectures are more like an open discussion. Use your phone or laptop and she will walk up to you and MAKE YOU pay attention to her viewpoints. If you're not interested in the subject, it's a gamble because your grade depends on your TA SO BE CAREFUL OUT THERE ALL YOU CISGENDER STRAIGHT MALES WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GENDER STUDIES. YOU MIGHT WANNA CONSIDER RUNNING AWAY FROM JULIET
