For my job, and for myself, it would be very good for me to have an MA, possibly even building towards a PhD.

So, I have been trying to find an online MA course in Gender/Womens Studies within the US.

Given that a significant number of women are kind of tied to the house by kids/job/caring (men too, but often career men have a wife to keep the homefires burning), why can't I find one?

There are a load of universities here where I live and NONE of them offer a campus based MA in this either.

I WANT to do an MA, and I WANT to do one about feminist issues. If I wanted to do a science/business one I could have my pick of courses, but not for this.

I would, btw, consider a course in general social studies, and elect for all the feminist options possible, but that doesn't appear to exist either.

Maybe I should choose a 'man subject' like accounting (I know, I'm stereotyping) then I could do one.

Rant over.

"Man subjects"? WTF?

Maybe your subject of choice is just not very popular. I'm sure if there were enough people wanting to do it, the universities would offer it. It's not some anti-female conspiracy to deprive housewives of their fluffy hobby degrees Hmm

Science/business/accounting are not "man subjects".

It's a shame that you can't find an MA in the subject that you want, but all of the subjects you have mentioned do sound much more work-related and I can see why they are more frequently offered.

Not sure what women being "tied to the house" has to do with it.
