We’ve all been there, telling someone that you go to *gasp* a school that doesn’t have cis-gendered men, and having to answer all those questions that they suddenly have (some offensive, others innocent). Somedays you just don’t want to deal with it. Here are some…. alternative… answers to some of the most common questions you’ll get:

Question: Are those even still a thing?

Sassy answer: “Well, no. Every day, I go sit on an old closed down campus and read books next to a sign that says ‘no boys allowed’.”

 Question: What percentage of lesbians go there? 

Sassy answer: “Percentage of lesbians? Hmmm out of what? The world? Well only a small percentage of the world’s lesbians go to Simmons. It’s so cool that more and more people feel comfortable openly identifying as whatever they want.”

Question: What do you do about dating?

Sassy Answer: “Ahhh well, my intended major in college WAS husband-hunting with a minor in 1950s home economics, but since they didn’t offer it, I had to change it to *Insert your major here*. I know most of my classmates are super frustrated with all the job, internship and social activities the school uses to keep us busy. Not to mention all the other schools around us, B.U., Northeastern, Wentworth, MassArt….”

 Question: What kind of majors do they have there?

Sassy Answer: “Well you’ve got your normal majors…biology.. economics.. political science.. and then there’s philosophy, where we sit around all day and ponder life’s biggest questions like: why would someone think we don’t have normal majors.”

Question: What kind of a person would want to go to a women’s college?

Sassy Answer: “Meryl Streep. Just, ya know, the most likable and talented person in the world.”
