Putting a positive spin on it.

I have decided that, if the film of GoF is uncanonically portraying Durmstrang and Beauxbatons as old-fashioned in their lack of co-educational status, this means that the homoerotica in both schools is rampant--and that Hogwarts is by comparison a hotbed of progressiveness and so there's even less homophobia there than we slashers pretend, in our giddy fandom brains.

So meh.

My old-fashioned women's college had afternoon tea every weekday. ;)

Which one? Smith had it once a week....

Wells, in upstate New York.

But as of last month, it's no longer a women's college, and all the tea in the world can't compensate for that.

Oh, I heard about that! My sincere condolences - I looked at Wells and thought it was a charming school. I eventually went to Smith because it had a bigger library...but any women's college that goes co-ed diminishes us all.
