Jeus Doug! You're so thick!

Don't you get it? You criticize Mr. A for his repressive policies against women and for his stated intention to purge the universities of secular-minded profs, but those who have examined matters under a scholarly microscope know that your cirticism is nothing other than unwitting support for neoliberal reform, which will result in greater misery for all. So like, fuck the women; they're just upper class blue stockings who want to show off their new hairdos.

Jeez,

Joanna
