Here at Springfield College where I attend as a female student, I have realized that there is severe overtreatment, as well as under treatment, but sometimes even equal treatment of males compared to females in the classroom/labs, dorms, gym, cafeteria, extracurricular activities, and any other places where institution sponsored events occur. There happens to be a greater amount of cases where males are treated superior to women, rather than the other way around or equal- in my opinion. Granted, everyone’s opinions will be different and their perspectives on each situation may change, but by living here for a semester I’ve got a good grasp of what I believe is going on.

In this institutional aspect men and women are equal because there is around the same amount for each gender, taking into consideration the sports. However, the physical act of sports is a different story. Men are viewed as extremely superior with athletics even though the college tries to get rid of that by making women superior in their own way. For example, Springfield college offers a numerous amount of intramural sports. There is indeed a requirement for them in order to attempt to make everyone feel equal. The team must have a certain number of men and women depending on the sport and that minimum number is always equal for both genders although their can be more. For that aspect, they’re equal. But, I’ve noticed that from watching a few of my roommates’ flag football games that the ball is passed to men when the opportunity is available. Even if they acknowledge that there is a completely open woman on the field, they tend to go out of their way to throw it to the men. This can show that men are seen as faster, stronger, more agile, more coordination, faster reflexes, etc. It is seen because when they do not have to throw to a woman, they don’t. Sometimes they have to because in the rules it says that woman need to be involved a certain amount of times so once they reach the minimum requirement, women are disregarded.

The women’s side of the floor has four showers, four toilets, and six sinks while the men’s side only has two showers, two toilets, and two sinks. There is an equal amount of each gender on the floor, so it shows that women are favored in this aspect. However, an aspect where men are superior to women in the dorm is casual talk. When talking in the common area on my floor with my floor mates, I have realized that I tend to get interrupted more than men and I see the other women on my floor do as well. This shows that men are seen as having more authority, and even more respect. Another aspect where men are superior is the fact that here at Springfield College there is a separate dorm only for men called Alumni Hall, but there is not a separate dorm just for women. I could see that being fair if there was a significantly greater amount of men than women attending but it is almost equal. During accepted student’s day, I learned that Springfield College is comprised of 52% males and 48% females- making the difference only a slight
