Last session on my MSc course Gender, Feminist Foreign Policy and Diplomacy- what a wonderful and diverse teaching experience

You know who wasn’t surprised that Chomsky was bad? Literally everyone who cared that he denied the genocide in Bosnia. It speaks quite poorly of class politics first people to have not listed to us then.
