Yes, A Women's College

Post by _subgenius »

Mount Holyoke College is a women's college that is gender diverse. We seek to support individuals across the gender-diversity spectrum by providing options to indicate a chosen name to be used on campus. We affirm every individual's right to be represented by the name they choose for themselves.

So, how does this work during the application for admission process?

You're really going all out in an attempt to change the narrative huh?

You typically post once every few months just to annoy people, and now suddenly you're starting all sorts of "subjects" in the wake of your orange master self destructing amidst numerous bombshell scandals. It's like someone gave Trump a gun with nine bullets last month, and here he is walking out the door with just one toe. But no worries, FOX News and his idiot minions are there to carry the water for him.

Not sure. Had a friend who went to one of the 'seven sisters' (Bryn Mawr). They use to have 'ovarars' instead of seminars. No kidding.

One of my favorite quotes from Director Kelsey Jannings from Bojack Horseman, talking about getting her daughter Irving (gender-normative names are oppressive) into the Ivy League on a 'Indie' director's salary:
Indie darling daughters don’t go to Brown, okay? They end up at cute, little pat-on-the-back factories like Vassar, and then they move back in with their indie darling mothers and make weird puppet shows with their tampons and get a profile in New York Magazine, and the horrible cycle continues.
Kinda like that. You can exhibit smug self-righteousness at Liberty U. or Mount Holyoke.
