The other times they get to see men were at dances arranged by the schools. They probably got to see men like 10 times a year tops. They had mandatory extracurricular activities and were not allowed to watch television.

If this were High School age i could understand. But all these statements about college students is lame. A friend of my grandparents was telling me about all the rules during the 60's (or mayby early 70's) about how men had to have women back to the dorms at a certain time, like 11pm and how guys were only allowed in the dorms in the lobby until a certain time. It shocks me how universities, well i guess society, think that adult women are not able to make choices for them selves. Also, i have to say that if you treat women like they can't make choices for themselves then more than not they wont be able to make choices for themselves cause they were never taught/encouraged to do so. Self fulfilling, i guess.
