/lit/ - Literature

Yeah, I have the same experience at my university. Very very feminist slanted. The "History of ______" courses are vastly outnumbered by "Women and Gender in ______" and pic related. Here's a bit of a taste of the priorities in my Roman history class - these are the four questions I'll be answering on the exam:
>How can we use the Laudatio Murdiae and similar eulogies and epitaphs to study women in the Roman world?
>How is this poem typical of Roman attitudes to sexuality and gender?
>How does this passage illustrate Roman theories and prejudices regarding race?
>What light does this passage shed on the nature and social purpose of the spectacles that took place in the Roman arena?

I was classically educated (more or less), and from my perspective, only one of these questions is proper history, especially in the context of a class called "History of Rome". I have absolutely nothing against social history, to be clear, but you'd think a class like that would have at least an equal focus on the political sphere.

"School of resentment" is very apt. Everything seems to have become relative to modern sensibilities and the cause du jour, while my education stressed objectivity, and trained alienation from the subjective. It really feels like they're spoonfeeding the millennials.
