1639679962184654853 | This is utterly disgusting. Yesterday, many of us really thought we might witness serious harm to a woman at the hands of a mob. @waynestate apparently employ this man who is talking about killing women on campus. https://t.co/x7IrWI5fov | 64 |
1639659755764596736 | @bjportraits @ThePosieParker @11thBlog This man is a professor at @waynestate and is openly advocating for students to kill women who speak out for sex-based safeguarding. If you read to the end, he uses examples of socialist leader Symon Petlyura and how the killing was found justified. #LetWomenSpeak https://t.co/mwl4OYqvKd | 40 |

1640417944948871169 | @waynestate Another wake up call to the extreme ideology that high school and college students are being taught. Why does it have to get to the point of professors encouraging murder of those they disagree with before this is taken seriously? | 256 |
