Below are two cuts I am stealing from
Malika. And then, briefly, my own opinion on the matter. Not f-locked so feel free to link anyone to this or repost or whatever.
I WOULD LIKE YOUR THOUGHTS!
Behind cut number one: Article from the Daily Hampshire Gazette.
(
Time for women's colleges to go coed by William L. Pohl, a freelance writer who lives in Belchertown. )
Also. I know that it would be sexist even if a woman wrote it. It would be all the more sad if it were written by a woman. But men writing this kind of stuff just really gets me mad.
To finish, I leave you with a quote!
"I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is. I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute." ~ Rebecca West.
The men who are "informally in dorms" are all either friends, family, or significant others of Smithies. You can't just waltz into a dorm. You have to be let in. Occasionally we get a stray hobo if someone has propped a door open. How is that men everywhere?
And I'm sorry but there are less female professors out there just numberwise. And you and I both know that just because you're a Ph.D.--no matter what sex--doesn't mean you're any good at teaching. Having only female professors at Smith would not benefit the school. It would disadvantage us by probability alone!
