All women's college: step forward or back?

Well it looks like my comment is forever lost. I will try to quickly recreate it, though I promise it will not be nearly as long or eloquent.

Basically, all women's colleges might seem outdated. They, however, as we discussed in class, do play an important role. I think the world and America in particular changes very slowly. I think these changes are brought about by "radical" people demanding "irrational" things. So we had slavery, then segregation, then racism, and now we're working towards unity. For gensex stuff, I think we need to find equality in the predetermined categories of "male" and "female," then once we have attained it, try to remove the labels and find complete equality.

So the instutions are still caught up in an out-dated idea, but we are fighting for basic rights for all humans. It's gonna take us who are fighting for equality to demand change and watch it, slowly, happen. So let's be "radical" people in our all-women's college and demand "irrational" amounts of change until we have it.
