Why are people taking out 100,000 dollars in debt to go to this school?

Why do people take on incredible amounts of debt to go to any school?

Genuinely asking, I have no idea why I did it either.

It was hammered into me that it’d be the only way I could get a job and not live a shit life. To be fair, I do live moderately well, but that’s just because I live cheap and don’t have a family.

Yep, basically this for me too.

A degree. Also, secondarily, an experience.

Maybe I’m looking at this wrong, but if you don’t identify as a woman, why go to a “college for women”?
And if a person with a penis identifies as a woman, will they admit this person?

Why is there still a “college for woman”? It would not be allowed in any way shape or form a “college for men”.

There aren’t still colleges and boarding schools for men and boys?

EDIT: Just looked it up, there are a few.

This surprises me. Why aren’t they sued for discrimination?

Why is there still a “college for black?” It would not be allowed in any way shape or form a “college for whites”.

Don’t quite get the point you’re trying to make here. Seems pretty much the same as Warbler’s point, I think.

A degree certainly doesn’t guarantee a good job, and a lack of a degree certainly doesn’t preclude a good job, but they both change the odds.

Wrong. I’m pretty sure there are boarding schools for boys.

I am surprised any boarding schools for boys aren’t sued out of existence.

And why is that? They are not discriminatory for sexist reasons.

If you were black it would probably be easier for you to imagine wanting to go to a black college, just as it would probably be easier for you to imagine wanting to go to a women’s college if you were a woman.

But there are no schools exclusively for whites, which kind of negates the point you were trying to make.

That’s coincidental to my point.

Hard to say. Women’s colleges are especially appealing if you’ve undergone some sort of trauma involving men, as many have, and I’m sure there are other reasons. Policies would vary from school to school. My guess is a lot of college-aged people are also still working on self-identity, and things may change between admission and graduation.

Makes sense.

I am telling you its mad, mad, mad, mad world

Tell me, in your own words please, how this is “mad?”

It seems insane to me to outlaw the use of a term such a “woman”. It also seems insane to me to say that you can’t assume someone who isn’t a woman, isn’t a student a women’s college.

The 1950’s called, they’re looking for you.

(Ok, to be fair, the 2010’s called too, but still, this is an outdated way of thinking.)

They’ve probably been given an exception under civil rights statues. Also, since they’re private, they wouldn’t need to receive federal funds.

And why is that?

I am pretty sure most feminists groups think that entity that is males only is discriminatory.

probably, but unless they give a crap about attending said entity, i doubt they would care.

One can admit only men or only women to a school without being sexist.

ah, of course.
