As on open forum, I've found that I've seen radical things on the right and left and "other" categories in years I've spent here at the University of Oregon. I think there are a few crazy-ass feminists (I had a class from someone that tried to convince everyone that her view of the world based on eco-feminist Judaism was the best... every male and female in the class felt that she was off-kilter), but, by far, the average student and teacher is much more judicious in their attempts to create forums for discussion. I think one thing that does happen which contributes towards males leaving school from what I've seen, is their laziness. How many guys I have I seen enter college, party every night, slack off on homework and then act like doing poorly in their classes was something that <i>happened</i> to them? I've noticed here that study groups tend to be very female oriented, women here like to study as a social activity. Guys here are more likely to party or watch games together as their social activity. These are vast generalizations, but I would be surprised to hear that someone dropped out of the UO because they felt that they didn't have a voice and that they were targetted. I don't remember ever sitting in a class through all 4 of my undergrad years that was segregated roughly by men and women. Maybe I just lucked out and missed these classes and experiences or somehow ignored them that should have made me feel like I was doing something wrong by simply existing as a male.
