<p>I think the answer is the same, then. If what you’re asking about is - to what extent is campus culture influenced or dominated by those tiresome types (we’re at a women’s college but heaven forbid you say, “Ladies, check out the XYZ Club meeting tonight at 9 pm”) - then I’m going to say, from everything I’ve seen and heard, that Smith will be more on that spectrum than the others, though you will find some of it everywhere, and undoubtedly more of it at any of them than at a “typical” co-ed research university.</p>
<p>Put another way, I have twins at Wellesley and Northwestern. So I can observe the differences in tone. There is a PC-ness about Wellesley that surpasses that at Northwestern. It’s just not as important at NU to take oneself So Very Seriously that you can’t say “Ladies, check out the XYZ Club meeting tonight” for fear of offense.</p>
<p>It IS tiresome, and it IS what drives young women (oh, excuse me, womyn) from calling themselves “feminists” if they think that feminism is about crap like that, rather than empowering women to go out and do whatever they want.</p>
