but gender neutral colleges exist. Its not like a bathroom where you usually have to choose between a man's and a woman's bathroom. Why go to a woman's college if you don't consider yourself a woman?

I dunno what you mean by "gender neutral colleges." But mixed-sex ones not only exist, they constitute the vast majority in countries like the USA today. Single-sex colleges and unis are vanishingly rare.

It is indeed strange that women who don't consider themselves women would want to go to one of the small number of women's colleges that remain today when there are many thousands of mixed-sex institutions they can go to. There are approximately 30-35 women's colleges in the US today, but more than 4,000 that are open to males and females alike.
