Seriously mfm, instead of saying there is no reason, you should ask someone who had a reason. It’s arrogant to assume that because you’re not aware of a reason that there can’t be one.

I don’t think there are any good reasons. Looking back on high school, some of my favorite acquaintances were girls and I wouldn’t have meant them if I went to a boys’ school. I get why boarding schools are segregated, because of their dormitories, but that’s just a logistics reason.

I don’t quite understand why a college-aged male would feel the need to go to an all-male college though.

It has been explained to you.

It’s still a terrible explanation. I’m sure a man going to a male-college because Mom neglected him would also be called out as a really weird and irrational decision that (in your mind) wouldn’t justify the existence of all-male colleges.

What a great comparison!

It’s a fair comparison because both are irrational.

Neglected son and raped daughter are both totally acting irrational…

If they wanted to go to gender-segregated schools for those reasons, I’d say yes. You’re saying that one is and the other isn’t.

I’m saying that I can understand why one would think that way if one were raped, irrational or not.

Sure I get it too, I’m just saying that it’d be an irrational decision. I don’t see why it’s problematic to say that.

I said a rape would be one reason for someone to want to go to an all-female college. You called it a terrible explanation.

But it seems we’re talking in circles now, so I’m happy to drop it.

Oh, I thought it was a terrible explanation for why all-female colleges aren’t sexist but all-male colleges are, especially since it’s safe to say that it is absolutely not one of the reasons why there are segregated schools in the first place. I wasn’t really responding to you specifically. I actually think we’re more or less on the same page on this, I just am more mean in the way I talk about things 😉

EDIT: Also, to be fair I don’t even think you said that it one was sexist while the other wasn’t. I believe only yhx implied that.

I’m sure someone on the web probably wrote a blog or whatnot why they went, and Google can help you find it.

Why would I want to dedicate my time to placing such information in my brain cells?

Why must all-male colleges be sexist?

FWIW I do not want my daughters to go to an all-female school, I think in general it’s not a good thing for well-rounded development. I just think there are exceptions.

As I said before I don’t really understand why my son (the one I don’t have) would need to go to an all-female school.

Synapses. Not cells. And to be more adequately informed on a subject in which you have an opinion.

Didn’t know we had a neurologist here.

High school biology. Memories are stored in the connections between brain cells, not in the actual cells. Your brain makes more connections when you need them, and breaks them when you don’t.

I’m guessing that the vast majority of students in segregated schools chose them for one of two reasons. One being that Mom or Dad went to this prestigious boys or girls school and now the sons and daughters are going to those respective schools too (most of these private schools have legacies). The second being for religious reasons like avoiding temptations. The latter is a worse reason than the first in my opinion.

Why would your daughter need to an all-male school?

I agree with all of this.

We both seem to have screwed up there.

I meant to say “I don’t really understand why my son (the one I don’t have) would need to go to an all-male school.”

I don’t know what you meant to say.

Well in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also looking at this matter in a different way and without wanting to fight, and by trying to make it clear, and further by considering each and everyone’s opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say. Thank you for your patience
