"Hey, this is a small class with only female students. Also, the teacher's out and we've got time to kill."

"...Let's discuss how our learning in this class different and inferior from classes with boys in them!"

"And then we can talk about how feminism is wrong! Stupid feminazis!"

"They just hate men!"

"I know! Like, if they were for equality or something that'd be okay, but they're so totally not!"

"I think men should be dominant! It just works better!"

"You know what's awesome? Makeup."

...you know, I just heard some guy say he finds it really sexy when girls put pistols in their mouth and pull the trigger. Get going, peers!

Oh. My. GOD.

And you were trapped with that for how long?

Twenty minutes or so. In fairness, I'm vastly simplifying the discussion - there were long, qualified statements that just boiled down to feminism = matriarchy.

Yes, I caught that. But in a way, that's worse.

It sounded better in context, and I'm sure they'd all feel vastly misrepresented. (It's not that they said boy classes were better...they just lovingly described how much better the classes were when there were boys and we had someone to demand the topic matter return to their interests. Come to think of it, it was like a pronoun issue - in the class, we're equivalently all using "she". If there were boys, they'd demand we use "he", even if they were one out of ten. And being in a class that did this would mean that our education was unbiased, while "she" must be abnormal and biased and unbalanced.)

Yeah, it's not so good...

Because God forbid you attend a class where the discussion is relevant to you. You might, you know, actually learn something, and that could get in the way of your MRS degree!
