What Percentage of U.S. Women’s Colleges Allow Biological Men?

How many of our nation’s “Women’s Colleges” actually live up to their claims? How many of them are just as much of a poser as the dudes masquerading as women demanding that they be allowed to attend these institutions based on gender affirming rhetoric, bullsh*t science, and political threats?

While not surprising, I’m sure you will at least find the number disappointing – if not nauseating…

From The College Fix:

All but three of the nearly 30 women’s colleges in the U.S. allow biological male students who “identify as female” – including “transgender,” “nonbinary,” “agender,” and “gender fluid” – to enroll at their institutions, a College Fix analysis found.

The three colleges are the College of St. Mary in Nebraska, Sweet Briar College in Virginia, and St. Mary’s College in Indiana.

Most recently, St. Mary’s College, a private, Catholic institution in Indiana, received considerable backlash when its board approved a new admissions policy to allow transgender women to apply. The college reversed its decision in December.

“There’s a number of dynamics at St. Mary’s with their decision,” Marianne Duddy-Burke, executive director of DignityUSA and Wellesley College alum, told The Fix in a phone interview this month. “Leadership for initial change acted with good intentions, but they put vulnerable people at the center of their failure; nonbinary and transgender people who thought they were welcome got that taken away quickly.”

Today, the co-educational higher education model encompasses the vast majority of colleges and universities in the United States. After peaking at 230 institutions in the 1960s, more than 200 women’s colleges have switched to co-educational, according to a 2020 report by The Women’s Colleges Coalition.

Converse College switched models and became Converse University in 2020. It subsequently has acquired an 18% male student body over the past four years, according to the university admissions website. Brenau University and Texas Woman’s University also recently shifted to a co-educational model, leaving only 27 women’s colleges as of February 2024, The Fix found.

So… 11%. A measly, pathetic 11%.

That’s all we could muster? Really, it’s more like 7% – seeing as St. Mary’s was attempting to reinvent their policies in order to accommodate inherently confused individuals.

What is it going to take for people to see this as the colossal mistake that it is? We’re undoing centuries worth of work done by women, for women, and for what? To affirm a slim percentage in their own fantasy at the expense of women who have worked incredibly hard to write their own narratives? That doesn’t sit right with me, and I don’t think it really sits right with most people either… but we have allowed a vengeful political mob to dictate what is “normal.”

We need to work on undoing that.
