Can these colleges and universities still be considered all-"women?"

Death by Gender, Cynthia Fuchs Epstein, Dissent, 2010
One of the greatest inequalities in the world is gender inequality in patriarchal societies.

Gender inequality has many other facets, including the trafficking of women as sex slaves and their forced recruitment as suicide bombers.
