Elucidating partiarchy

THE AIM of women and gender studies programs across the country is generally fairly standard: Provide students with the opportunity to study history and culture from women's perspectives and provide and avenue for interrogating the ways in which gender affects every person.  Somehow, throughout the years, these goals have been interpreted by some, mostly conservative pundits and those outside of the academy, as blatant man-hating and nothing more than liberal indoctrination.
