The Hungarian government is discontinuing programs in gender studies at state-run universities after determining the programs serve no identifiable purpose and are based on “ideology rather than science.”
Bence Rétvári, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Human Resources (EMMI), said that university degrees must be rooted in a scientific basis, whereas gender studies, “like Marxist-Leninism,” are more aptly termed ideology than science, and are inappropriate matter for university-level education.

A spokesman for the Hungarian government told Breitbart News that there is no demand for gender studies graduates in the Hungarian job market.

“There is no economic rationale for studies such as these,” he said, and nor does the program “furnish students with skills that can be readily and directly converted on the labour market.”

Few university students will be affected by the decision, since only 11 applicants were admitted this year into the gender studies program at ELTE, which has a cap of 18 students, and two more at George Soros’s CEU.

The spokesman said that programs with such low student numbers are unsustainable and “take away valuable resources from other programs, deteriorating the economic stability of universities.”

“State universities operated from public funds must take these factors into consideration,” he said, “since the purpose of these institutions of higher education is to meet genuine social and labour market needs.”

The government decree only affects two universities in Hungary, the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest (ELTE) and the Central European University (CEU), the only two offering gender studies at the graduate level.

Officials have been eying gender studies with some suspicion for a while. In 2017, Lőrinc Nacsa, the leader of the Christian Democrat (KDNP) youth wing, said that gender studies at ELTE are a wasteful luxury and counterproductive.

“We must raise awareness to the fact that these programs are doing nothing to lift up our nation. In fact, they are destroying the vvalues-centred mode of thinking that is still present in the countries of Central Europe,” Mr. Nacsa wrote in a letter to the president of ELTE.

Most Hungarians have no concept of "gender" as in something separate from biological sex. Those that knew English just think it is a synonym. I'm sure some liberal academics know of it, but 99% of the population is yet blissfully ignorant of the silly subject. Indeed it is something I first learned of in this website, and still can't really take it seriously any more than I can take a kid who thinks he is a fire truck.

So, a quick piece of trivia on the english language.

Once upon a time, back in the 1800s or so, gender did mean something different from sex. It seemingly wasn't even connected to sex, it was more your "Social Status". But as time went on, and Americans became increasingly uncomfortable about sex, people didn't want to say the word "Sex" anymore. So gender got used instead. At this point they were synonyms, the old use just wasn't applicable anymore.

Then, when we got to troontown current year, as with any PC trend, it started with fucking with language. So these people decided gender meant the old thing, except it was also related to sex, kinda, but not really. It just means whatever is convenient to their argument at the time.

Yes, you are right, it is exactly as worthy of being taken seriously as a kid saying he is a fire truck. Are you saying when your kid said he was a fire truck you didn't cut his arms and legs off and replace them with wheels? Before long that'll be a criminal offense...
