All Male Colleges

After looking on several different news sites and search engines, I found neither the number of male colleges nor the news article. But in the search, I came across several related articles in which females tried to get into male colleges. In one case, a female fought for 2 years in an attempt to get into a prestigious military school. The courts finally found that she had the right to attend the college, and she was admitted. Surprisingly, she dropped out after several weeks, claiming that the work was to hard. In this case I can understand why the woman wanted to attend this college. Society in general tends to focus on the ways in which females are discriminated against, so we tend to find women fighting for equality much more than men. For instance, it is not uncommon to hear about females wanting to join male sports and colleges, but not often do we hear of males trying to join female sports and colleges.

In the case involving the male trying to join the female college, I feel the male has an equal right to join a female college. If females are admitted to all male colleges, then the opposite should be respected as well. But in general, I have no strong views regarding whether or not all male and female school should exist. Although some view seperating schools as sexist, others feel that perhaps such a system could lead to a better education for both sides. All-male and female schools are less prevalent than they used to be, so perhaps the trend is leaning toward eventual all co-ed education.
