If there were to be a clear cut example of a state that imposed horrendously strict gender segregation's and the disturbing consequences that came out of it all. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for Saudi Arabia to come to mind. A study once conducted (I think back in 2008) revealed out a staggering 70% of Saudi teenagers that exchanged pornographic images via their mobile phones. Moreover, 80% women that were victims of the so called 'bluetooth' harassment at some point. There was apparently more to this story.
I agree with Exodus yo. I do think too much gender segregation ain't cool. Saudia is classic example of this. I have known some saudi students who would come to Canada for their police training and to learn english here. I tell ya yo!..not good.
I respect those who do not want to mingle, and they should not be made to feel like a social pariah, nor the other extreme as well for those who don't mind mingling.
Unfortunately parts of society have gone to one extreme or another and look down on those that do not do as they do.
yes... I think too much segregation is bad. Like Partyslims said it has to be in moderation. Coming from a girls school in a very segregated environment I can speak from experience.
Even if women weren't allowed to work, or could only work in female environments, I have seen multiple issues of women having issues in their marriages because the only men they've ever related to are their brothers and fathers.
The other thing segregation does is create almost this weird kind of dynamic where guys are desperate to even look at girls and the girls are so creeped out by this they start hating on guys and instead find solace in female companionship. You'd be surprised how many lesbians I had in my school.
There has to be some sort of interaction albeit limited so men can learn to respect women as opposed to seeing them as unattainable 'things' you only get to be with when you're married.
