Wow, I have to say I haven’t encountered anything like that personally. Plenty of “men don’t have feelings” stuff, sure (like so much), but not what you’re describing. I’m sorry that happened to you.
I’m not so sure that’s what gender studies is, though.
i don’t think it’s well defined, so it often depends on the whims of the people in charge of the specific instance, and whatever their personal intent is. i do hope many have much more inclusive and open environments than what my experiences lead me to believe. i just hope people figure out how to properly communicate on the subject before more escalations happen.
also think there should be more active research and work done about trends like media groups being created specifically to rile people up and polarize them, because rage material is good for the algorithm. it tends to flare up anger on both sides, and reduce constructive dialogue, as well as increasing extreme acts by the bad actors.
