The educational and sociopolitical consequences of institutional structuring of gender studies are discussed through the lens of personal experience at a small, liberal arts college in the Midwest. The relationship between the two studies, women's and men's, is discussed as complementary and essential to one another. Student resistance to gender analysis is addressed as a common occurrence, and suggestions are made regarding the use of feminist pedagogy methods for any gender teaching. Similarities and differences between women's and men's studies are identified with the conclusion reached that each can benefit if unified in efforts to inform about the cultural systems of sex and gender.
