What is the difference between feminist anthropology and gender studies? I
read Slocum, Rapp, Sanday, etc. under the guise of gender studies and have
always understood that feminist anything was radically anti-male. Of course
the main difference between the terms may be of academic intent: "ologies"
are academic and "*** studies" are not.
