You keep accusing me of projecting, but never specify what is being projected.

I guess you believe projection is some kind of devastating passive-aggressive critique, perhaps because you heard the term used in a Hollywood chick flick for a laugh line at some unpopular character's expense.
But as far as meaningless Freudian-Marxist psychobabble goes, projection accusations are bottom of the barrel.
As for "normative." Son, don't play with critical theory until you've got a decent (ie better than absolute beginner) grip on basic Leftist jargon.

And don't forget to enjoy your sophomore year!
