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.

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?

perhaps, but I think that it necessarily justifies women only schools. Again, I don’t blame men or black people for rape, I blame those individuals that rape.

A degree. Also, secondarily, an experience.

A shitty experience.

Did you not find yourself, discover new horizons, and make lifelong friends?

No, I downed sleeping pills and contemplated driving into Lake Erie.

So you’ve learned Lake Michigan is better? Or just closer?

Neglected son and raped daughter are both totally acting irrational…

By the way, what’s a man to do if he was raped in highschool by another boy and doesn’t want to go to college with other men? Should he be nurtured in counseling and encouraged to not live based on paranoia and make irrational decisions because of his trauma? I think he should be.

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

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

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.

EDIT: And by the way, everyone reading this knows I’m right.

Ok.

I’m right.

And no.

They should, because I’m right.

Maybe instead of making unfounded claims, you should ask someone who went to such a school why they decided to go there.

This strikes me as a particularly poor attempt at humor.

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 don’t even care about sex-segregated schools, I’m just saying that if one is okay then so is the other.

EDIT: To be fair, I don’t know if you’d call the son irrational, I just assumed. Sorry if I’m wrong.

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.

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 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.
