Male only schools

WanabeInflatable · 2025-04-11T06:13:59+00:00

My senior grade in school was mostly gender segregated, not by design, but due to few girls in my field. It was pretty good!

I think segregation is not always good, but in such an environment where men are demonized, teachers biased against boys - segregation is the lesser evil

I went to a public school with girls and boys. At the time I wouldn’t have wanted to go to an all boys school. But in todays world I think it would be a huge advantage to go to an all boys school. From what I have read it seems that the education system is very biased towards girls. A boys only school would eliminate the gender bias so all boys are treated the same. Also given how toxic some girls are acting on social media it seems it would be much safer to attend an all boys school.

I really wish I could’ve went to an all male boarding school. I highly recommend reading A Separate Peace by John Knowles if you want a romanticized image of the concept.

As someone who studied for a couple of years in a male only school and did the rest of my schooling at a co-ed school, I had the best time of my life at the former. We had the freedom to be ourselves and didn't always have to look over our shoulders to check if anything we said could be interpreted as offensive by the other gender. Moreover, there was no place for bias against boys which is a common practice in co-ed schools where some teachers deliberately punish the boys to humiliate them in front of the girls

I’ve worked in many male dominated fields and absolutely prefer it.

GreatBayTemple · 2025-04-11T02:50:07+00:00

Honestly, all the drama I got into with women and how absolutely douchey guys act around women. Yes, I would completely advocate for male only schools, jobs, gyms, everything.

Tireless_AlphaFox · 2025-04-11T02:12:04+00:00

I don't think I'd mind

vikarti_anatra · 2025-04-11T11:28:58+00:00

Yes (and female-only).

(with additional detail that passable transgenders are put in school on their gender too and threated as people of gender they look, incl. punishments if they are different)

Perfect-Barracuda211 · 2025-04-11T02:08:49+00:00

absolutely not. Most of my friends are Female. Although I did attend a males only elementary school and it wasn't that bad. In general, I don't think gender segregated schools are cool. But that is just my opinion. I can somewhat see why some people like gender separated schools.

MRAFacts2 · 2025-04-11T02:22:23+00:00

Well, the field I'm in is overwhelmingly male (80-90%), so it wouldn't make any difference to me.

I understand a lot of people feel that have single sex education is beneficial to either sex, however, I don't see the need for university education being segregated.

In colleges and universities, your learning is much more independent rather than hands on. You won't be spending that much time in the classroom and there is more flexibility.

However, in schools, I believe that it would be a great idea to have segregation for boys and girls due to the fact they mature and behave in different ways and I believe a lot of female teachers, who make up most of the teachers, have a tough time understanding that boys are different and are generally biased towards them.

I also believe a boys' only school will help provide boys more physical activity and breaks that they generally need along with a more friendly environment rather than overdiagnosing boys with ADHD.

I would suggest reading work done by Dr. Leonard Sax on single sex education where he highlights key sex differences between boys and girls and how we can help each of them succeed.

The older I get the older school I become, yes I would like a school for boys only.

If I have a son it would be cool to send him to a school specialized in men like in the old days, with a similar military style.

In the old days these schools used to have boxing, fencing, etc.

rabel111 · 2025-04-11T03:30:12+00:00

No.

That would just facilitate more discrimination against men and boys.

Wadeem53 · 2025-04-11T13:56:54+00:00

I think it could be both good and bad. It depends on the environment of the school itself. While there can be a good friendly bond athmosphere in some schools, in others there can be an environment with strict rules and forced gender roles and behaviors which will make some people uncomfortable, and segregation is generally a bad thing tbh because it can make men and women completely separate from each other like in Muslim countries so it can be bad for the cohesion of society

I essentially attended college in a gender segregated environment.

I went to a private engineering school. At the time I attended, it was 75% men. I am a member of a College social fraternity as well. We owned a house that was an old apartment building, and we only rented to the members so the living situation was all men. There were women who visited, and there were several members with girlfriends, so it's like it was no women, ever.

CooperSterling-4572 · 2025-04-13T03:35:44+00:00

I went to a sex segregated high school. It was completely fine. I dated girls from the all girl school nearby. No dating drama at school existed for guys obviously. I believe it must have been very hard for anyone who was gay. Guys in an all male environment at that age can be immature and can display intolerance sadly.

As for universities, I have heard there is an all Male one in texas called St Edward University or something, I imagine that would be a very different situation.

Gen_X_Xoomer · 2025-04-16T04:04:36+00:00

Male only schools would be great until High School, but it’ll never happen because women would demand entrance.

No_Philosopher_1171 · 2025-04-17T00:24:01+00:00

I wouldn't care, school is for school.

Hampton-Sydney College is a male only school.

Significant-Sale7802 · 2025-04-17T05:07:38+00:00

I ran a job at a liberal arts college and the dorms were coed, right down to the bathrooms. The amount of guys I worked with that said they would never send the daughter there was astounding.

DO-Kagome · 2025-04-11T17:10:14+00:00

We have a school in Indiana called "Wabash College". It's a decent school with about 900 students. Ranked 47th in the country I do believe out of a ton of colleges. It's a big success around here and had been recently aiming at getting men into teaching. I see billboards pretty often.

I would have no issue going there; however, I firmly wish both genders could work together and resolve our problems.

Gengis-Naan · 2025-04-11T03:15:37+00:00

No, that would feel weird. I feel like it would produce men who are less ready for the "real world" too.

Poyri35 · 2025-04-11T03:34:31+00:00

Definitely not, segregation is never the solution

The-beat-man · 2025-04-12T21:53:03+00:00

nope went to an all boys high school. didn't enjoy it
