Women's colleges-A paradoxical existence? Empty

It recently came out that girls constitute nearly 66% of prestigious institutes like SRCC.The passing percent and average score of girls has been consistently better than boys for many years now.Even Engineering and medical colleges;which were earlier considered male bastions are seeing more women come in across all departments. . Clearly , and I love to admit it,women are outdoing us men.It augers well for this nation.

But "Isn't it a paradox that despite women clearly outdoing men in academic merit ,we still have "women's only"colleges ?

Yes,it could be argued that the "ground realities " tell a distinct tale and that the statistics don't reveal everything.

Isn't it about time we opened the doors of atleast prestigious college like LSR,MH,LHMC and the like to men also?

i completely agree wid u dude!
lemme tell u,my college loreto n st.xaviers started off together 95 years bak,xavi's suposd to be our brother-college concern or somthin...
both wer strict christian convents,xavi-boys only(but famous for its b.com),n loreto-girls only.
but sum 20 yrs bak,xavi opened its doors to new subs AND gurls!
but loreto still continues to be its old stuck-up self...
RESULT-loreto today bein d oldest college in cal,stil is stuck-up wid only huminatarian subs n nuns for teachers,but xavi's today the only college in west bengal to have autonomy!
