Mount Holyoke College suggesting professors to stop calling all students “women”
Mount Holyoke College is an all-women's school.
OUTH HADLEY, Mass. (WWLP) – Mount Holyoke College is suggesting that professors stop calling all students “women.”
According to a faculty web page, part of the Teaching and Learning Initiative suggests that faculty say “Mount Holyoke students” instead of “Mount Holyoke women.”
The Supporting Trans and Non-Binary Students guide was created by a faculty member at Mount Holyoke to help foster a gender neutral environment.
22News spoke with a Mount Holyoke alumni who lives in Connecticut about how the school is working to be more inclusive.
“Mount Holyoke is very big on the idea of being inclusive, you see it in the fact that my class was 40 percent international,” said Samantha Rosado. “They’re being very inclusive not just in the sense of gender, sexual orientation but also socio-economically and culturally so i think this is another step in making people feel welcome.
"Every student at Mount Holyoke has the right to live and learn in an inclusive environment that is free from hostility and respectful of their identity.”
Acting President Sonya Stephens said the college will not shy away from advocating for the identities expressed by all members of the school community.

There has to be another word better than "STUPID". This is way past "STUPID".
I suppose, since the college wants the College to be Gender Neutral, "Men" should start applying, since Trans and Non-Binary Students (who are women on campus by the way), can and will relate to being "men", or just "nothing" at all, and EVERYONE is now to be called just "Students".
For those unfamiliar with Mount Holyoke, it's a small college in Massachusetts with an enrollment of just over 2,200. All students are women.
That's right.
Mount Holyoke does not allow men.
So you might think they would not have the absurd SJW issues with gender that you see at co-ed universities, because Mount Holyoke clearly believes that gender is a fact.
Wait, what? So, this is an all female college, yet they can’t admit that they are women? And why are Mount Holyoke College students “braced against disrespect?” Why are they such a weak, triggered bunch? By the way, its tuition and fees are $47,940 per year, but what sane parent would send their daughter there after this?
I like to imagine this dinner table conversation: “Honey, I think we should take out a second mortgage on the house so we can finance our daughter’s education at Mount Holyoke. You know, I just can’t imagine her having to go through life with the permanent damage inflicted by the trauma of being called a ‘woman.’ It’s so important that she get her education in a non-binary, inclusive, non-normative, non-cisgendered college where the professors understand and are sympathetic to the concept of intersectionality.”
Wherein the sane spouse responds: “Over my dead body.”
