Mixed-sex dormitories should be the only dormitory type permitted at higher education institutes

First of all I never directly said that "males and females are incapable of sharing the same room without getting sexually involved". My opponent does admit however that it's a "great way to meet potential mates of the opposite or same sex". As there are always people who abuse any system it would be unrealistic to assume it would never go any further than that. As for parents with "traditional" values, while they can seek private housing, this reduces their child's chances of socialising with his/her friends. It is not sexist for them to not want there child sleeping in the same premises as the opposite gender if it is to avoid a "morally compromising situation". They could have a son or daughter or even both, this does not mean they value either one more then the other. When my opponent points out "Facebook and Microsoft were created by roommates/dormitory mates" they miss out that it was both times by two males. The rate of female programmers are declining, and yet technology is becoming an increasing part of our lives. It seems that males and females are just likely to get interested in different things. This may be why friend groups are often dominated by one gender. Basically what I'm saying is that people get to know their room mates best if there are fewer of them, and they are more likely to become good friends and/or work partners if they are of the same gender. My opponent also says "I am sure that the males and female can come to an agreement on when and if they they want to share the same bathroom". Why can't this also apply to sleeping arrangements? Why can't there be three dormitories so that people can chose if they want the one with only their gender or both genders.(This would also allow people who don't identify as being male or females with an easy option.) As there would be people who felt more comfortable with the former their is no reason why they should have to "live in a private residence of campus" as my opponent says they can in the comments. In the next paragraph my opponent seems to have done what they have accused me of doing, avoided the argument. Therefore there doesn't seem much to argue on this point. My opponent says "While my opponent does stress they are not sexist, this does not detract from the line of argument that women are made to look weaker than men. This is not true." If my opponent means physically, this is incorrect. Sports competitions have different sections for male and female participants for a reason. It seems established fact that most men are physically stronger than most women. (There are, of course, exceptions, but this is the general case.) Going back to round 2, my opponent claims that due to mixed sex dormitories "people you are in contact with is increased by 100 % if we consider a 1:1 ratio of women and men in the world". This is entirely false. The first reason being that being in a dormitory with someone does not mean you necessarily make you come into contact with them when in a large dormitory. The next reason is that many, if not most, are already in regular contact with he opposite sex (whether or no sharing a dormitory). Finally I would like to point out that pro must give a reason why one sex dormitories should be banned. If not their is no reason why private schools should not be allowed to do as they please. Thank you to my opponent and voters for reading my argument. References: http://www.techrepublic.com...
