My wife once took a all women defensive handgun course. It drove her nuts. She had previously taken the same class in a mixed group and had hoped that the single sex setting would allow for addressing some of the differences between boys and girls. For example, she found that wider hips required slight adjustments to how and where she wore her holster. Her superstructure also prevented her from running one drill in quite the same fashion as I did. None of this was learned in the women's class or addressed in any way. Instead it devolved into constantly catering to a few "helpless" types while those wanting to run and gun had to wait. She realized that she preferred a mixed class where she was pushed to perform. She learned more and improved faster. Note, the male instructors were the same in both classes.
