a lot of academia is just cushy jobs for people that provide nothing of value except spreading their own ideology but I guess that's the point, it's a "safe space" for people that don't want to do real work
I talked to my mother about the women's studies class she took back in the 80s, she thought it was complete drivel
I imagine almost any ethnic or gender study type class jus basically amounts "we're the s**t, we've never did anything wrong, everyone else ****'d us over"

I took an Intro to Gay and Lesbian Studies course last year. I had a much more positive experience in that, possibly because I found the content a lot more relatable as a gay, slightly androgynous male. Plus it was very diverse and we didn't malign others.
I think ethnic/gender studies courses are fine so long as they don't push indoctrination and conspiracy theories on students.
