<p>I only wish same sex education were totally irrelevant. For women in math and science it can be a godsend to be in an environment where they are the norm, not the exception.</p>
<p>And I cannot tell you Igloo (hope I have that right) how inspiring the Barnard graduation was with a female president, dean, valedictorian and class president. And none of the pompous pontificating the men in my profession are prone to. (I am a college prof.) It was the true fulfillment of my own feminist dreams of the 1970’s.</p>
<p>That said, I want to say that my D, who is in a serious, committed relationship and in law school, was never locked away from guys.</p>
<p>Barnard was one of the first schools to have dorm curfews and visitation rules abolished, before the coed school I attended. The women staged a sit-in. I believe it was in 1968. Look it up.</p>
