It might be equally unlikely that he would have been president without her. They support each other’s ambitions and like most couples, drive each other’s destinies.

Oh, please. It’s not like men don’t buy in to this either. Football for example is very much about the journey. Ever watch the run up to the draft? Jesus, nothing but sob stories. Ever see the press coverage about a player who has come back from injury? The in depth details about shoulder surgery for a quarterback or…
Ugh, my woman brain isn’t interested in very many Olympic sports, but the ones it might watch (mostly swimming) will lose about 95% of their appeal if I already know who won. And I HATE that 85% of coverage has always been wading through life stories to get to the three seconds of edited action they deign to show.
I would be happier with this outcome if it looked like male students actually felt excluded. Looks like it’s just a male professor with an agenda.
This is one of those rare situations when the arguments on both sides make sense. On the one hand, having a study space limited to one gender is problematic - we women would not want to be excluded from a study area. On the other hand, women should be able to study somewhere and not have guys hit on them.

I’m just telling you why they exist. To compare them to the male-only spaces is disingenuous.
“Also ... I can think of so many times guys used study spaces as a place to hit on women.”
Any man who would oppose safe spaces for women probably has a lot to hide. Sure technically these spaces may be illegal but any decent man would understand why they need to exist and wouldn’t be against them. This isn’t about equality. It’s about safety. Women need to be protected from men. As long as men continue to…
The difference being that the men’s only golf course wasn’t a direct response to women harassing men on regular courses.
Yeah, my feelings are mixed. I get that a public university can’t really exclude an entire gender from any of its on-campus spaces.
I find it kind of weird that he even got involved. It would be one thing if male students were protesting, but why does this matter to a professor?
Welll it’s just not fair. And bros, I’m with you. I don’t think it’s fair either....that women are so afraid of men because violent crimes against women are overwhelmingly committed by men, and as a result of that we have to create physical safe spaces that segregate the genders. But ok, let’s fix your boo-boo first.
Thank you for saying precisely what I was trying to figure out how to say (but couldn’t find the words).
Dear Mr. Perry,
Ick, why do I have a feeling this professor is a big time arsehole?
Not to start up the whole “safe spaces" discourse again, but as a women attending college, that's essentially what these exclusively-female spaces are. And it kind of pisses me off that some asshole can't get over the fact that sometimes we just want to be in a space without men, while still being in public.
This should have been filed to Big Time Small Time Dicks
