Conservative commentator Dennis Prager caused a stir after claiming that female teachers are “part of the reason” for the deterioration of academia.
“So I now have for you another female teacher — They dominate academia, increasingly, and it is part of the reason for its deterioration,” Prager said on the most recent episode of “The Dennis Prager Show.” This moment quickly spread across social media.

“I know it sounds misogynistic, but only to an idiot,” Prager said, preparing for the inevitable backlash. “Am I claiming all women are awful teachers? Of course not. But if 95% of the librarians, for example, or 85% of the kindergarten teachers are female, and the libraries are increasingly featuring trans story hours … Drag queen, that’s right. A lot of terms you have to master here. Then it is not foolish let alone misogynistic- the CEO of PragerU is a female.”
“What the left does, is they throw names out instead of arguing,” he continued. “They’ve been doing this since Stalin called Trotsky a fascist.”
Social media was quick to respond:
I have a female friend, so I can’t be misogynist.

I mean, it doesn’t SOUND misogynist, it’s the definition of misogyny. Not sure how “women are ruining education” could be taken in any other way.

For someone his age it would be unusual if his education at least through high school was not overwhelmingly provided by women.

The worst thing ever is when my kids are watching their shows on YouTube Prager U commercials sometimes pop up.
They are cartoons directly designed to bring their propaganda to children. It’s insidious.

Elderly fascist clown proposes it sounds misogynist to say female teachers dominating academia is part of the reason for its deterioration, but “only to an idiot.” Nice combination of illogic and offensiveness. He should do a skit for conservative internet, radio. Funny man.

Dennis: Leftist just call people bigots and fascists, they don’t bother arguing points. They just name call.
Also Dennis: If my statement sounds misogynist it’s cause you’re an idiot.

Then I’ll take idiot because that statement is not only misogynistic but also asinine and one only an ignorant fool or an true idiot would make.
