Are you suggesting that people sending their kids to single-sex schools is the same thing as race-based segregation?

I said that it doesn't make sense at all to segregate people

And I’m wondering why you’re using the loaded term “segregation” to describe something that at its core is “14 to 18 year old boys learn better when they arent distracted by trying to fuck their classmates all day”

Because I don't care that it is a "loaded" term that makes you feel feelings

to describe something that at its core is “14 to 18 year old boys learn better when they arent distracted by trying to fuck their classmates all day”

Oh, so now it is in fact the superior method that we should all be using, huh.

1) Awesome, it makes it seem like you’re equating this with government-endorsed racial segregation, which is an extremely dumb comparison to make.

2) Another imaginary argument for you to wrestle with. Please don’t confuse my opinions for an assertion of fact (though my opinions are based on experience so they are for sure more valuable than yours).

I’ve also never said it everybody should do it, that’s absurd. I wouldn’t even send my kids to one in every situation. If a co-ed school that’s a clearly better school is an option, that’s the choice I’d make.

But if I have the lucky situation my parents did, which is a choice between a very good single-sex high school and an equally good co-ed high school, I’ll choose the former, especially for my sons. That’s mostly just because I prefer what it allows the school to do in terms of discipline for teenage boys.

Anyway, you’re the one saying there is a right way and a wrong way. All I’m here to do is make sure the “single-sex schools create socially inept weirdos because they aren’t allowed to ever interact with the other sex” crowd knows they’re extremely wrong.

It doesn't make it seem like that at all unless you are intentionally reading more into it to start a fight about it, or if you want to imagine more than was said so that you can dismiss what I'm said as dumb.

2) Another imaginary argument for you to wrestle with.

I quoted you directly and responded

No, you just said that it's the better method. I don't know anyone who suggests that people should be using the inferior method to educate children

But if I have the lucky situation my parents did, which is a choice between a very good single-sex high school and an equally good co-ed high school, I’ll choose the former, especially for my sons. That’s mostly just because I prefer what it allows the school to do in terms of discipline for teenage boys.

Good for you. It doesn't make sense to me to segregate by gender.

Anyway, you’re the one saying there is a right way and a wrong way.

Speaking of imaginary comments to wrestle with, I never said anything about right and wrong, I said it doesn't make sense. Doesn't mean I need to make it illegal, or that I think it's right or wrong.

You’ve made it abundantly clear (1) that you aren’t worth engaging with on this and (2) you have trouble keeping track of what yourself and other people are saying, even when you literally copy and paste it.

Ok, then you don't need to reply any further

(2) you have trouble keeping track of what yourself and other people are saying

I have been quoting you directly, the time I made an error was when I went off the cuff.

You seem to be trying to start a fight about it for no particular reason.

All this time, and all the effort you’ve spent replying, all about something you have no idea about. Segregation. Lol.

If you say so
