I am currently a student at one of the colleges mentioned and would like to point out that just because we are a womens college does not mean that we are against men. Yes, because of the environment and small school setting, we tend to be more accepting of differences and pride ourselves on diversity, often making it a safer environment for people to be themselves and share their opinions and beliefs, such as supporting womens rights or being open about their sexuality. This does not by any means prove that we are all lesbians, it simply means that being openly gay is more accepted and recognized then say at a southern co-ed school. We take pride in our sex, and attending an all womens college teaches us to stand up and fight for our rights and our equality, and I can’t see anything wrong with that. In fact I wish more girls were taught that, because what is wrong with taking pride in who you are? Attending an all women’s college is much like being part of a sorority. You form a bond with the women you have the priviledge to spend 4 years with, you grow and support each other, and you become a family. Yes, some women decide not to shave their legs. That is their choice to make and as a community we stand behind those choices because that is the definition of freedom. The ability to do, say, be anything that you want. To worship your own gods, to love whom you want to love, to look how you want to look, and to know that you can do anything you set your mind to. That is what kind of woman you will find at an all women’s college. And frankly, I think the world could use more of us.
