11 Comments Or Questions To Never Ask A Student Who Attends A Women's College
Meredith College

In society, there are unspoken rules about which comments or questions to never ask people; for example, the film "Mean Girls" establishes that you should never ask someone from South Africa, "Why are you white?" There are just some things we can all agree on that no one should ever say. But, this list of "unspeakable comments or questions" needs to be updated for 2015. There are a lot of sexist and derogatory comments and questions that need to be added -- come on world, we are better than this.

As a freshman at an all-women's college, I have been asked a multitude of offensive questions and have had rude remarks made to me about my choice in schooling. Here is a list of the things that no one should ever say to a female who attends an all-women's college.

1. "Why would you ever want to go to a school filled with the same gender?"

My answer to this is always the same. Since I go to an all-women's college I no longer have to worry about comments about not wearing makeup and looking "sick." Also, there are less distractions.

2. "Are you going to turn into a lesbian?"

Well considering the fact that you cannot just "transform" into a lesbian as if it is a contagious disease... no, I do not think I will be "turning into" a lesbian.

3. "How are you going to find a husband?"

I am here to get my bachelor's degree, not my "Mrs. degree," so finding a husband is the least of my concerns at the moment.

4. "There has to be a lot of drama -- it's an all-girls' school!"

Actually, there is not any more drama than if it was a co-ed school.

5. "Wait, is that a real thing?"

Do not ever ask this.

6. Is (insert all-women's college name here)'s mascot a vibrator?"

This is sexist and derogatory. I'll say it again louder for the people in the back who can't hear me: This is sexist and derogatory! Please do not treat us as if we do not have access to men and are locked inside of the college.

7. "Didn't you have other options?"

Yes, I had a lot of other options. A school being co-ed was not exactly on my "must have" list.

8. "So does that make you like a feminist?"

Yes, because I am now taking all feminist classes and am being brainwashed into a secret cult that breeds feminists.

9. "Are you all on the same menstrual cycle?"

No, honey, just no.

10. "So is that just a training ground for housewives?"


That is not even a real thing!

11. "Do you ever see boys?"

No, because boys and men now all become invisible with my acceptance letter.

Remember to never say these things to women who attend all-women's colleges because these are just really rude to ask. You would never ask someone who attends a co-ed university if they had any other options or if they are sexually challenged. Just ask yourself how would you feel if the roles were reversed.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
