25. I went to a women's college
precisely because I wanted to get away from not only gender bias in classrooms -- many studies have documented that males get more attention from teachers -- but also because I just wanted out of the culture where classrooms were infused with games of sexuality. I loved my education and I think good arguments can be made that separate classrooms can be a real bonus.

Of course, that's not to say that they couldn't be used for equally rotten purposes. I'd have to see specifics of a proposal before I'd endorse it. But I think it's a shame that so few single sex colleges remain. At that level, at least, it should be an available choice.
