Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary is offering a BA in Humanities with a concentration in Homemaking. The program is only open to women.

The stated goal is to enforce 'biblical gender roles'.

Augh. I don't know where to begin.

They don't even dignify the program by using "Home Economics", which has it's own baggage but a respectable pedigree.

If I had time to leaf through my 'Women, Gender and Science' texts I would find the name of the woman who started the first Home Economics program (which included sciencse like biology and chemistry and their practical applications) - wikipedia has failed me.

Ah, Baptists. Hard to believe I was one, once upon a time. Catholic, Lutheran, then Baptist...Now, now I'm a sailor. Closest thing to religious belief I have.
