My fave comment has to be how women want to have positions of leadership in the classroom and on campus "without competition from men". So if men don't want "competition" from women in college, shouldn't they be allowed to use the same argument to keep men-only colleges? Oh no, that would be "sexist". I guess also, no one told some of these students that there are more women in college than men these days, they hold more positions of leadership than do men, and are now exceeding by classical measures their male fellows in virtually all areas of academics and professional advancement. But to the feminist, facts are not to be considered. Men are just bad, period.

My hypothesis is that since apparently this generation can only function in female-only enviroments, this'll open the door to "eliminating the male threat in the workplace". Or on the street. Or in their homes.
But looking at any normal high school or college, any moron can see that apparently most women aren't having a problem in a co-ed environment as valedictorians or in "leadership roles"... for whatever reason.
But yes, the hypocracy is absurd, and you'll be pleased that you're not the first person I've heard notice this. Well, here's to "breaking up the ol' girls club"...

The comments from the poor elite college girrllzzz facing the onslaught of the unwashed Huns (boys about to be admitted) is very revealing as to the true nature of feminism's take on "equality."
Is it any surprise that they want to succeed without having to compete?
Maybe that's why the last NY City marathon provided the female runners with a 20-minute head-start, and then the papers declared "Woman Wins Marathon!"
Maybe that's a clue as to why the Violence Against Women Act forbids any funding to help male victims of domestic violence!
Maybe that's why males accused of sexual assault are publicly villified while their often false accusers enjoy the "competitive advantage" of rape shield laws mandating anonymity!
Too bad this all-girls college is flat broke.
Their financial distress is the only reason they are admitting male students.
What happened to sisterly solidarity? You'd think by now that N.O.W. would have a national emergency campaign launched to save this bastion of female academic purity from its certain violation when their campus restrooms soon become truly gender neutral.
Can you imagine being one of the first freshMEN admitted to this hormonal circus of rage?

actually it would be really cool if it weren't for women being hostile to the male students at this college, or lesbian. that many women with only a few males that you'd have to compete against! not too shabby.

Roy, while the papers certainly rushed to rejoice at a woman "winning" the competition, please don't fault the race organizers, who wanted to ensure that the elite women could run their race without being impeded by the male runners (who, being 15-30 minutes faster, have no women to impede them).
However, this article on the Boston race which I just found:
http://www.boston.com/marathon/stories/2004/womens _start_021104.htm
...doesn't do much to make me support these women's cause. It includes the insulting paragraph:
"As the size of the mixed field soared, the elite women found themselves banged around and boxed in among the middling masses of males, many of whom were using the women as pacers."
'Middling masses'!? It's a rare runner indeed who can finish a marathon in under 2:30 as the elite women do. And these male runners could make a similar argument -- they might have an easier time catching the leaders were it not for the women's leaders (and their attendant cameras and police cars) getting in their way.

How come we use the word "male" when discussing MEN, but not the word "Female" when talking about women?
I notice that men are often spoken of as if they are being sexed farm animals.
Wha' up wi dat??
