[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is an enormous difference between being at a women's college and being at a college that is "mostly" (60%) women.

At a 60% women college with 25% lesbian/bi that is 45% straight women.
At a women’s college where 80% (conservative number; probably much higher) are lesbian/bi that is 20% straight women.
So the best way for a woman to be around other straight women, where they are not a small minority being subjected to the “female gaze,” is to [i]avoid [/i] women’s colleges altogether.
Obviously that is the antithesis of why women’s colleges were established in the first place and what made them great. Their time has passed.[/quote]

not sure what you have against women's colleges or gay people.[/quote]
I like diversity; women’s colleges do not have a diversity of women. They are therefore “women’s colleges” in name only. Sad statement though it may be, co-ed colleges have more female diversity.

Most women do not consider women’s colleges not because of lack of male access, but because they are made uncomfortable being their “straight” selves. By definition, then, women’s colleges are now anti-women.
