Dennis Prager — the right-wing radio blabber who named an entire fake university after himself — has finally figured out how to blame women for nearly everything he dislikes about the world today.

Actor Elliot Page doesn’t have to say anything, or do anything other than simply exist in order to send the hamsters in the brains of transphobes skittering.
