      3. In fact, @nathanwhitlock's "woke Skywalkers" is superior to @jonkay's "woke Banshees." Kay should hire Nathan as a ghost writer.

      4. The giveaway word here is "doctrinaire" -- feminism has never been a doctrine (consider the arguments among the suffragettes) but rather an internally disputatious mass movement.

      5. The fact that Kay instinctively links "doctrinaire" and "feminist" together is because he's a conservative with no understanding that mass movements naturally generate internal arguments.

          Jon Kay is a random word generator filled with the most pretentious pages of the OED

          The fact that you find it notable, makes me wonder about your understanding of the history of every human doctrine. Doctrine's to naturally generate arguments.

          Whether it's an ideology or a mass movement, does it really need to debate whether academics, in publicly-funded institutions, deserve due process before being turfed?

          Evidence that due process was denied in this case (which, is in fact on-going)?
