It would not be allowed in any way shape or form a “college for men”.

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.

tell that to feminists groups.

Nobody needs to do that because feminists groups aren’t trying to shut down boarding schools.

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(Ok, to be fair, the 2010’s called too, but still, this is an outdated way of thinking.)

ah, of course.

There are reasons why a person might desire to go to a gender-specific school without it being mean-spirited or evil. And just because some group cries foul, that doesn’t mean they have a leg to stand on in court.

I’m not sure what the legal rules are for gender-specific private schools, but I imagine the law allows it.

Isms don’t necessarily have to be mean-spirited or evil.

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

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 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.

I’m paying out the ass on student loans every month, but also I have a pretty fantastic job for someone barely a year out of school and there’s basically no way I’d have it if hadn’t gone to a school of the caliber (or higher) that I went to.

oh wait, if woman is a forbidden term, I would think male and female would be as well.

Mhm.

On the guys/girls school thing, Warb, gender/sex has been recognized as a valid basis for some distinctions. And a private entity has leeway to discriminate. As gender/sex continues to be deconstructed/reformulated it will be seen as more unacceptable to discriminate.

The blue elephant in the room.

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?
