"Palin the Political Whore" |
|
Ed Schultz is all over it again today. He's also played the Clinton/Obama debate in which George Steph asked about William Ayres....and, of course, Barack's thorough and honest response. Ed says that nobody else besides himself has been playing that particular audio which is readily accessible for all to hear.

6. Whore, Bitch, C--t, that's DU these days. It's like freeper-ville in here. |
|
Where are those more enlightened people who understand that this use of female slurs hurts all women like any ethnic slur would hurt a group?

10. I call them enlightened: they would never use the N-word either. |
|
That word would be unenlightened to you, but female slurs seem to be adult and enlightened to you.

17. You put the word whore in the same category as the N word? |
|
Perspective I think is needed here.

11. I know what I have been seeing over the past month or so that I have been posting |
|
Some of it is sickening. The anti female and anti gay slurs that are just allowed to proliferate, the anti gay feeling that seems to pervade this place: you're sure you're "Democratic" Underground?

I've never, ever seen anything anti-gay spoken here that wasn't immediately trounced upon and smacked down by gays and non-gays alike. Same goes for anti-female slurs. I've been here over six years... I don't know what the hell you are talking about.

19. the "anti-gay feeling"? Right...a 30 day membership isn't exactly long enough to be giving lectures. |
|
But welcome to DU anyway.

13. in a state of true equality between men and women |
|
There are no double standards
Everyone is liable to be called nasty names regardless of sexual designation of the word, i.e. you hear just as many men reffered to as bitch or whore -the words are begining to lose that sexual designation and the use of the word no longer automatically connotates that you are discussing a female.
McCain can be called a dick, an asshole, a motherfucker, a whore, a piece of shit, a sorry bitch or cunt.
but call Palin anything with a femine desigation and what out!
That's called a double standard.
If men can put up with being called every name in the book, then women need to be able to handle it to.
ps. Palin's blatant use of her own sexuality as some sort of currency equivalent to knowledge or qualification is rather fucking whorish.

It would be sexist to treat Palin any differently than one would treat anyone else who happens to be male.

I am female and this bullshit double standard gets to me, too. Sooooooo....one can call a man a variety of sexiest terms, but use one for Palin she really, truly deserves ~~ whore ~~ and that is sexist?

She doesn't look at America the same way we do. She thinks America is so far gone that Alaska should secede from the union.
