Women go to the same universities as men.
This isn't like shampoo, where the women's version is a seperate product.
Take a little time to read the whole question. They're asking about cities/states where their daughters can feel safe & empowered, as well as the fact that there is a good university, that likely shouldn't have a "frat bro" culture.
Aren’t women safe in all states?
It’s a bit hard to fathom as a European, so I’d love some knowledge if you’d share
Not only have many states removed the right to an abortion, some of them are starting to restrict access to abortion care even when failure to provide that care could lead to grave injury such as the loss of organs or fertiity.
While there is a federal law on the books that seems to require this care, a case challenging one such state law was ruled on by SCOTUS over procedural issues and it is not clear yet how the high court will decide on the substance of the issue.
States that swing Republican have higher odds of abortions being unsafe
Some states have pretty strict laws regarding abortions.
I assume that this is what the person is referring to.
He only wants to send his daughters to places where they can get abortions? Seems a weird way of picking a college.
He wants to send his daughters to school in a place where they're not only being valued for their wombs. Where they're looked at as being equal contributors to their field of study. Where they're provided opportunities the same as every other scholar there, and not assumed to be in college to find a husband.
And, yes, there is a bit of "if they get into trouble will they have options?" At play I'm sure as well.
Quit being obtuse.
@Nunar@lemmy.world was it abortions you were talking about?

Sorry, I should have elaborated.
The laws are strict and would hold doctors liable in some places. There was an instance where a woman needed some pain killer but the doctor wouldn’t prescribe it because it could cause the termination of a fetus.
When the lady told the doctor she wasn’t pregnant, he told her that she could become pregnant.
I know that’s an extreme example, but it is an example.
Another is that abortions in the case of rape might be illegal in some places and traveling out of state to a place where about is legal is also illegal.
It’s also illegal in some places to knowing help a person get to a place where it’s legal to get an abortion.
I’m not in expert in the subject, and the law varies by state so it gets confusing.
My wife and I do not live in the US and don’t plan to return, so we have not followed it closely.
Oh, I think there was also an issue of cops or the government possibly buying the data from period tracking apps, but I’m not sure about that.

Think of the US like 50 countries in a trenchcoat, cosplaying as a single country. It's a crap shoot in a lot of ways.
OP never mentioned men. Bit of a slip on your part.

The self-report is loud and you're a really easy mark
