I used to teach a WGSS (Women's, Gender and Sexual Studies) class. The first day of class one semester, I asked students to introduce themselves and I do the same. I encourage them to tell us something "interesting" besides their hometown and major.
Several years ago, a student proclaimed "My name is ---. I'm a feminist, I'm bi-sexual, and I don't believe in god." It was only after the "I don't believe in god" I heard someone audibly inhale deeply.
I found that experience interesting. Well, I am in Indiana, so I shouldn't have been surprised.

I get the same reaction here saying I am not a christian, followed by, "well what are you then?" voiced with some trepidation. I'm not sure what they are afraid I might say, but I think they don't want me to be Muslim.

I don't think the fact that Women's Studies exists as a course is the point of her post.
I suppose there isn't Man Studies? Apologies. I hadn't realized it's a real thing.
