Gender women study is a special case & it is extreme however it has A LOT of connections with sociology teachings. The biggest connection i find is the emphasis on social construction.
From what I can tell, that idea was ripped whole cloth out of anthropology, where it refers primarily to race. Substituting race (which actually is a socially constructed concept without a biological backing, we all came from Africa) for gender (which is actually a biological fact with socially constructed implications) is pretty clumsy.
Partly, this is the result of the way the social sciences are propagated. Social psychology, for example, is in large part built out of spare parts from economics. Evolutionary psychology thinks that it bears any relationship whatsoever to biology. (But doesn't.) In general, the social sciences believe that they should have porous borders, sharing their innovations with one another and borrowing them freely from others.
This becomes problematic, because 90% of all social science is actually hastily-fabricated bullshit.
