    It’s a fairly passive aggressive way to put the spotlight on them.

    -Billy constantly disrupts the class by making inappropriate comments about girls.

    -Billy’s teacher decides to have a class discussion on the importance of a positive learning environment.

    -Billy’s teacher assigns Billy the task of researching all the reasons this is important and leading the discussion.

    -Billy is shamed into knocking it the hell off, but gets to feel important and heard.

    -Next time Billy acts inappropriately we are able to pull up his own talking points to remind him how to behave.

      Billy is not a 11 year old boy. Billy is the hereditary monarch of a nation where they stone women for being accused of adultery. Billy can now claim to be an expert on feminism because Billy has been given legitimacy. Don’t be like Billy or the corrupt pieces of shit who gave him a seat at the table.
