Somehow, this sentence: "However, it intends to join the unholy mass of mixed colleges in Michelmas term of 2007 by accepting male students, thus bringing to an end the college's prestigious role as the last all-female college in Oxford." does not seem NPOV. Does anybody agree on this? :: Salvo (talk) 00:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I totally agree, I've re-written it. --Alf ^melmac 01:25, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Has anyone else ever heard of the "Women's Institute of Equal Rights"? This entry is the only google hit, and there's no source. 12:28, 20 February 2006 (UTC) Jdc

I strongly suspect that it's a hoax. The quotation (which I've moved from the article to this page, below) reads like a semi-literate parody of 1970s dim-left feminism of the silliest kind:

A spokesperson for the Women's Institute of Equal Rights commented on this development:

"The lack of an all-women's college or hall in the University of Oxford will result in a return to the phallocentric nature of the institution as a whole. We would have hoped this college could continue to provide a safe haven for women who excel academically in the company of fellow women without the forbidding presence of testosterone. It is a sad day for women's right in the developed world as we know it."
