Maya posted a blog post that identifies 10 reasons she loves attending a women’s college. Here’s her first reason:
"Gender
doesn’t decide who talks in class. In high school, I used to feel like
either teachers would only call on boys, or that girls just weren’t
supposed to speak as much as boys. No matter how confident I felt about
the material, there would always be that guy sitting next to me shouting
out the answer like that was his sole purpose in life, which would just
make me feel like I shouldn’t bother saying anything at all. In a
women’s college this never happens. Women own the whole space, and so
when people talk in class, there’s no chance that their gender will be
used to keep them from taking part."
