...While it is true that arbitrary segregation based on gender is inappropriate and unjustified, the facts of this particular educational initiative are more nuanced. While these schools do separate boys and girls, it is unfair to say that they “segregate” students, for any student wishing to learn in a coeducational setting always has the option to opt out of the program.

So nobody ever lived up to that level of happiness that I had felt with him, which was so unfair because there were obviously aspects of him that I wouldn't want to have in a mate. The book is filled with other women's stories of rejection as well. I interviewed a lot of single women, and I kept hearing the same story. "Oh, we were dating three months...
