That women don’t deserve, can’t expect, any better.

All these plans to educate the next generation about hatred of women from an early age can’t just happen in classrooms. It needs to spread out into every part of life, of our culture, in all ways, from the overt to the subtle, from the grand gesture to the gentle nod.

Or re-education by papercuts as well as being bashed over the head… which is, obviously, not what I’m in any way saying Walker deserves much more than the England captaincy. Can’t believe you even suggested that.
