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”.

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

That’s totally different.

Exactly! Well, not exactly, but the point is that male privilege and white privilege are both unfortunate things that exist.

A degree. Also, secondarily, an experience.

A shitty experience.

Your experience is not universal.

Safety?

Try to imagine if you had been raped in high school. Just for starters.

So if I was a woman and was raped by a black student in highschool, would I be justified in wanting to go to a whites only school?

I honestly don’t know how to respond to this.

Not wanting to go to a school with the same gender that raped me is the same as not wanting to go to a school with the same race that raped me?

How does a race rape someone?

how does a gender rape someone?

So…in your imaginary scenario, you are not raped by a man or a woman, but by a black person?

In my world, I am not raped by a race or a gender, I am raped by an individual.

Yeah…a black individual.

no, I an individual. I don’t blame the race or sex. I blame the person that did the rape.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the majority of people are raped by a MAN.

just as all other people of the same race of the rapist aren’t responsible for the rape, neither are all other people of the same gender of the rapist.

Warbler, is it really so difficult for you to understand that our experiences help shape our viewpoints, and if you were a woman who had been raped in high school, you might have a different viewpoint than you do now, being a male who hasn’t been raped?

I don’t either, but there’s no legitimate reason in my mind why a college-aged female would feel the need to go to an all-female college either.

Ok.

I’ve heard a lot of other people’s experiences and have deemed most of them to be shitty by my standards.

EDIT: Better add a winky face to this. 😉

i had a universal vip experience once…

What does rape have anything to do with the existence of an exclusive private school?

I provided one reason why a woman might want to go to an all-woman college.

It doesn’t, it’s just a way to justify a double-standard.

Ok.

Ok.

It’s a paranoid and irrational way to choose a college. Presumably she’d also never leave the campus property ever again either to avoid contact with men. She’d also have to never enter into any kind of professional or personal relationship with a man either since most assaults and rapes are perpetrated by people the victim knew socially before it happened.

And some probably do that.

It’s dumb to just say you know how someone should react in a traumatic situation when you’ve never been in that situation yourself.

It’s easy for us to say it’s paranoid and irrational, because it’s never happened to us.

Come on man.

It’s a fair question.

It’s not rational to blame all men for the action of one. Nor would it be rational to blame all black men. You might have more sympathy for the one impulse over the other, but let’s be honest about it.

Men are more likely to rape a woman then women are. Are blacks more likely to rape a woman than whites?

I’m sure a traumatized woman will be sure to look up statistics before forming any bias.

In the sometimes words of Warbler, sheesh.
