<p>Cobrat, I know your innumerable panoply of friends/relatives/cousins apparently give you insight into every single situation in the country, but given that Consolation went to Wellesley and I have a D currently there, I don’t think you are the authority you think you are on the matter. Of course male students are a part of the academic life at Wellesley (and other women’s colleges) through exchange programs and classes; you needn’t remind us of that. We are questioning why someone who now identifies as a male would want to be at a women’s college when the guiding principle of the college is to educate women, which is a gender that that person is not / is no longer. It is a fair question, and all the nattering about “but I know plenty of W students who study at MIT and vice versa” has nothing to do with the question. It’s a question that doesn’t apply at coed colleges, but it does apply to single-sex ones.</p>
