Well, probably an anti-rationality quote:

At Smith, the “old boys’ network” becomes an “ageless women’s network.”

From the exclusively female Smith College, where James Miller happens to teach.

I wasn't aware James Miller was a woman.

Exclusively female refers to the student body, not the campus. From the linked page:

More than half of the professors at Smith are women as are many top administrators.

Clearly the college performs a rather invasive check.
