But in this case it was the women that took the lead in the fight for open visitation.

In what case? Are you addressing a specific example as opposed to speaking in generalities about the change in dorm policies over the years, as you appeared to be in this post <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1065629794-post40.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1065629794-post40.html&lt;/a&gt;

Many here seem to have lived very sheltered lives and went to Bible colleges. All this has been SOP for at least 40 years. Many of the people most vocal in getting the right to have boys in their rooms overnight were the college women.

<p>Sure, women became more vocal in wanting increased freedoms and to self-advocate, especially in the 70’s and later, especially after the increased availability of the pill. Doubt it would have gone over too well of the guys were pushing for more leniency in overnight visitation, and doubt guys would be asking for increased visitation for other guys visiting.</p>

<p>There was a lot of change going on back then in the 70’s, especially for women. Title IX college sports issues were not exactly being pushed by the men’s sport teams.</p>
