" "Leave it to some dyke who calls herself “Marcus” to come gurgling the same bullshit we’ve all come to expect."

Have you ever heard of Marcus Aurelius? It’s a play on his name because I admire his philosophy, supergenius. And have you ever read any of my previous comments? Apparently not, because if you had, you’d know that I’ve never spouted any bullshit, nor towed any party lines. Nice ad hominem attack, though."

Oh no, I’ve never heard of Marcus Aurelius. Your oh-so-clever little wordplay totally escaped my notice. NOT!

You are a woman who models herself on a Roman philosopher, which is absurd. Do you know the origin of the word “virtue?” Do you think Aurelius would have seen some spoiled American woman with an inflated ego as the rightful heir to his ideas?

Pietas dictates that you should shut up in the presence of men and take your place as a woman. Or did you miss that part? How convenient, and how typically female to overlook the fundamentals—

Your presumptuous defilement of ancient, received wisdom only underscores the folly of attempting to give women equal status in the realm of thought.
