Women's college instructs professors not to call students 'women'


An all-women’s college in Massachusetts tells its teachers not to say “women” in the classroom but rather use the word “students.”Professors are instructed to say “Mount Holyoke students” instead of “Mount Holyoke women,” as well as avoiding statements like “We’re all women here…” or referring to “the two genders” as part of a Teaching & Learning Initiative. The Supporting Trans and Non-Binary Students guide was created by officials at Mount Holyoke to promote a “gender neutral” environment, CampusReform.org reported. ‘PRONOUNS MATTER’: GEORGIA COLLEGE SUGGESTS ‘NE’ AND ‘VE’ AS GENDER-NEUTRAL WORDSYet, on the school's website, it says, “Imagine if every day were International Women’s Day. Meet Mount Holyoke,” and also boasts of being founded “by a woman!” in 1837. The college formed a gender inclusion task force to assist with the changes.
