How you can tell someone doesn’t have a degree in the humanities, or doesn’t understand their degree:
They think anything above “Aliens built the Pyramids” or “All human languages are secretly Turkic” or “The Roman Empire didn’t exist” can be dismissed with an “end of story”. Historians can’t even agree on dates. Lit majors are even worse - and someone who supposedly has a degree in Classical Literature thinks that the interpretation of Sappho as sapphic (dohohoho), a mainstream position since at least the Roman Empire, should know better than to dismiss the position as ‘actually insane’. Not least because it is still the mainstream position and has only become reinforced with recent scholarship.
Someone might be lying on the internet :o
Academia, as we all know, is the domain of brevity and easy definitive answers.
Lit majors are even worse
It didn’t make sense until I read somewhere that where the sciences sought answers, the humanities asked questions.
As someone who has two degrees in classic lit from the same university as the person pictured, Sappho was lesbian. End of story. Hope this helps.
Ah, yes. Someone with the punctuation, grammar and vocabulary of pre-teen claiming to have a degree in literature. 🙄

How can I? You spelled everything correctly!
Oh, the joy of running across another dingus trying to un-queer historical figures. Big swing trying to do it to Sappho, though.
Maybe a degree in classical lit from Liberty or BYU.
Tell me you had a 2.0 GPA without telling me you had a 2.0 GPA.
She spelt “nothink” wrong.
I took a class on English literature where the lady professor said she didn’t quite believe the Goblin Market had sapphic imagery because they were “sisters.”
If you want to read the horniest piece of “children’s” poetry in the world that ends with one of the gayest quotes in literature, read the Goblin Market.
Obvious bait
In the conservative worldview, saying so is all there is.
