    I feel this is the best place to post this because I need to get the female perspective on this especially the feminist who will have their own expectations of what equality entails. Basically I can't help but be disheartened by the number of ads I have seen for apartments, as a whole or with rooms for rent that specifiy females only or no couples. I have lived in a number of apartments/houses with males only and a mix of where I was the sole male occupant. In my years I have seen friends whose parties have gotten out of control and damage incurred to the apartment. In every instance where I have seen this females have been the sole occupants of the property. I want to know specifically why feminists have not protested against this travesty of . discrimination against males when they claim their purpose is equally. I am reminded of George Orwell's Animal Farm in such circumstances.

    :confused:

    Some people (male or female) feel more comfortable living with males.

    Some people (male or female) feel more comfortable living with females.

    Some don't have a preference.

    Let people live where they want to live, with whomever they want to live with.

    Not everything has to be a big feminist (or anti-feminism!) issue!!

    This has nothing to do with feminists. Eqality ≠ the right to live where ever you like.

    Take your agenda elsewhere, it's not wanted here.
