Link fail
Give me a second...

No idea really. Your link doesn't seem to work .....

Let's try that again:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2017/10/03/women-only-cambridge-college-allow-students-simply-identify/amp/

Basically, a Cambridge women-only college will now accept anyone who self-identifies as a woman at the time of application.

What are you speechless about? The fact that there is a women's only college or that they are allowing people to self identify?

There are other threads about this. I assume the OP means self-identifying.

I think op is outraged men are being allowed in a women only establishment

Probably the latter Tabby.

It's a fucking disgrace.

This is pure b.s.. I'm so angry about it. A lot of girls choose the woman only colleges precisely because they don't want to share their living space with men, for whatever reasons. I'm with Germaine on this one. As an alumna of the other women only college in Cambridge, it seems that this is the death knell of SPECIFICALLY female spaces in academia, which are still so important and necessary. I understand ALL the implications of what I'm saying. You can't understand femaleness and the life of women whatever that means just by putting on a dress. These institutions exist because women were so disadvantaged in University education. How is it acceptable to erode that????

Are there any men only colleges? Single sex colleges seem very old fashioned.

Eton?

Honest question here...are there any men's only Colleges / universities? If so, what do people feel about that? I'm honestly surprised there is a women's only one, didn't know that. Obviously there are single sex schools, but didn't realise there were single sex universities.

Running out of charge...Eton is a school, not a university?

grannytomine was referring to Oxbridge colleges; Murray Edwards is a Cambridge college. They all used to be all-male, then some were established as all-female. Currently all Oxford undergrad colleges are mixed-sex and all but two Cambridge undergrad colleges are mixed-sex; Newnham is the other all-female Cambridge college.

Eton

Which is a school not a university college.

Talk about bending over so they can give we women a good shafting! In what way is this appropriate?

I have no idea tbh. However I bet if they are/were that they wouldn't allow women who identify as men in.

I understand these women's colleges may have started because women were disadvantaged, but surely that's not the case now? Why do adults need single sex universities? I always thought university was for preparing students for life..there aren't many single sex workplaces about.

Talk about bending over so they can give we women a good shafting! In what way is this appropriate? Why should women have the choice of women only colleges or mixed colleges but the men have only mixed colleges? I don't think the women have got much to moan about.

Well yes but it’s called Eton college

Someone asked about all male universities/colleges

Toffee...so they changed the male only colleges to mixed and then left the women's only ones as women's only? Doesn't seem fair somehow?

well I'm speechless that there re uni's or colleges which dont admit men

Eton? hardly represents the uk does it?

Running out of charge....yes it's called Eton College, but it's a school and only takes kids up to age 18....the op is talking about colleges in Cambridge etc, which are actually universities.

Before there is equality for women, there is equality for men who identify as women.

Good job, society. Good job.
