Students at famed women’s college: Stop calling us ‘women’ (Hillary's Wellesley)
The College Fix ^ | 3/02/20 | JENNIFER KABBANY

Posted on 03/03/2020 3:41:05 AM PST by Libloather

Some students at the venerable, all-female Wellesley College are calling for an end to use of the term … women.

A staff editorial in the Wellesley News bemoans the popular on-campus catchphrases such as “Wellesley sisters,” “Women Who Will,” and “Wellesley women,” and asks that instead there be a more concerted effort to use gender-neutral language all around.

In particular, three suggestions put forth by the campus journalists are:

When discussing the student body, say “Wellesley students” rather than “Wellesley women.”

Avoid making statements like “We’re all women here…”

Use gender-neutral language whenever possible in syllabi and other general written communication.

“a more concerted effort to use gender-neutral language all around.”

Except when they want to claim victim status, and its associated perks.

So we have “men” and....? What the heck are we supposed to call the other gender? I can’t keep up with all their insanity. No, I didn’t read the whole dang article.

Feminists resent being born women and waste their lives trying to force society and the polity to make them men.

Ok, got it.

Can't say the B-word, the C-word, the F-word, the N-word, now you can't say the W-word.

Men is not a gender. Masculine, Feminine, and Neutral are genders which are a grammatical category. Male and female are sexes which are a physiological category. In French the noun Feminin is masculine gender.

In one generation, America’s feminazis have produced toxic femininity. Everything the Left touches turns to dreck.

I guess we could call them the “objects” at Wellesley, the “things” at Wellesley, the “creatures” at Wellesley, or the “worms” at Wellesley, but I think I prefer the “whackjobs” at Wellesley.

But I won’t call them women, at least those who insist they shouldn’t be.
