Or maybe it's so that men will be safe from bogus sexual harassment charges from women.

Sounds like you should focus on a program to control the sexual urges of men, rather than punish women.
How is making men and women live separately "punishing women"? It's equal treatment for both genders.

Sex segregated housing and schooling can't hurt. Sex segregated workplaces sound like a terrible, terrible idea...

Listen, bitter, I'm sorry you've met some crazed females but that is not all of us and it's not even close.

Instead of segregating based on gender, how about we segregate those with delicate sensibilities from those who don't get butt hurt at every little thing?
Now, now, dont you know this is the OPs favorite utopian social theory?
I suspect he really wants to put women into seraglios.

I suggest you move to Saudi Arabia, they have things setup perfectly for people like you.

This is ridiculous. My parents almost sent me to gender segregated school and I cried for three days. My problem with it is its hard enough for guys to talk to girls and the other way around. This just makes it worse.

The OPs mindset is about control.
Of women.

re: single women hitting on married men. Are these men raped or otherwise coerced into having sex with these relentless single women? Do you even *realize* how often married women are approached/propositioned by single (or other married) men? If we have the ability to say no, so should you.
I know single men do it too, but to a lesser extent. And most men keep their distances when they go out. I reckon most men do concentrate on their work. It's usually the women coworkers drawing the bait.

Yeah, despite my above post, growing up with a couple neurological disorders and therefore zero social skills until college...It took quite awhile longer to learn social skills due to those disorders...I can definitely relate to this. Without a coed college experience I would likely have no social skills whatsoever...and far, far worse social skills with women. College, and a few women I made FRIENDS with in college essentially made my life into the utopia it is today. I would be miserable only talking to women on rare occassions to date them. I don't have any idea why someone would want to do that, I just know that some people do, and was thinking that it couldn't hurt for them to have their own places to go and do that. If the government mandates anything though...I'm sacking the government. Also, talking online stinks except for intellectual debates. It's no fun not to be in the person's presence.

Aye, women have their own sex-segregated groups, groups that cater to them. Lots of "Women Only" groups and it's perfectly fine. But suggest a "Men Only" group raises an alarm of gender discrimination, or people think those men are gay, and that men's groups should include women as well.
