I feel strongly that the eventual ideal has to be sex being irrelevant to most people in most circumstances. If New Hall and Newnham really feel they can't change, then I suppose they'll just plod on for the time being but it would be good if they could, and it's good that St Hilda's can.
You're confusing, I think, liberal equality with actual equality. Making every college mixed is blank-sheet equality, but it leaves us allowing the worsening of a situation where men outnumber women at every level of Oxford University, and by more than 10 to 1 at the most senior academic level.
