I went to an all-girl high school, and I loved it! It was really cool to have all-female leaders and athletes. It was nice to concentrate on academics and friendships instead of boys. I’m not shy by any measure, but the all-girl environment encouraged me to speak up and ask questions in class - in grad school, I still…

But that is a shaky argument to make to justify the direct violation of a federal Law.

Who much you want to bet he created that Wikipedia entry himself?

He’s probably feeling pretty proud of himself. And he’s probably trolling this post hard!

Same here. While people outside of the group were not prohibited, the group tended to self segregate for the most part. If a white student was comfortable being the only white person in a room filled us black folk wearing kente head wraps, decorated with pictures of Marcus Garvey and quotes from Malcolm X, they were…

Except the purpose was not to provide women with a benefit not offered to men. It was to protect women from men. Men don’t need to be protected from women, so equality shouldn’t apply in these kinds of situations. If women posed a danger to men but men weren’t being provided with safe spaces, that would be an equality…

In a lot of cases, gender separation is still helpful in fields like STEM where men are still massively the majority. If having separate spaces ultimately helps women achieve better representation, what is wrong with that?

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.

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.

That’s a bummer, although I can see how it was in line with the law. Although this seems a little strange -

Dear Mr. Perry,

Ick, why do I have a feeling this professor is a big time arsehole?

No. It’s about the rules of protection regarding one who is a guest in your house.

Can we stop using “pussy” as a word to mean weak though? My vagina has birthed three god damn kids.

White men getting offended over other people getting offended is the most pussy shit of all. Just fucking get over it.
