This article confused me. I agree with the sentiment that women only colleges benefit women but thought that the three Cambridge Women only colleges they refer to were no longer single sex as they admitted anyone who self ID’s as a woman?

Have I got that wrong? Otherwise surely it completely contradicts the whole arguement?

And didn’t Germaine, who is held up as a successful Cambridge alumni, vehemently oppose this change?

There is gaslighting, and then there is Guardian gaslighting - the master class of deception.

in Britain just three single-sex colleges remain

I've got news for you R. Rehman

In Britain ZERO single-sex colleges remain

the cognitive dissonance among the editorial staff at the Graun must surely by now have reached levels that are dangerous to their health?

I can't with the Guardian anymore (apart from a handful of writers). I used to love it as an outlet, and trusted them implicitly. Now I am undergoing what feels like a painful break-up, and my ex just keeps taunting me.

I thought so.

I’m only an art school dropout but I do at least recognise the difference between sex and gender.

Idiotic newspaper. After being raised in a Telegraph reading household I happily read the Guardian for nearly 20 years. Now I’m more likely to be reading the Times, Telegraph, The Sun (!) (online) and starting not to even bother to check the Guardian for the headlines. What’s the point when they don’t even understand basic biology?

I wouldn't line a fucking litter tray with the Guardian these days.

Oh man, did Newnham go the self-ID route too? I thought Germaine said over her dead body?

Maybe dropping out was precisely what preserved this particular ability of yours?
