mixed schools and gender segregated schools

this is somewhat related to a post i just saw here, but i hate how people assume that anyone who prefers mixed schools has “bad intentions”. from what i’ve seen, segregation can sometimes make interaction with the opposite gender feel forbidden or unfamiliar, which may contribute to misogynistic or misandrist attitudes, or even cause people to obsess over the other gender simply because it feels restricted. it’s similar to how people often become more fixated on things that are treated as forbidden. in mixed schools, interaction usually feels more normal and less sensationalised.
