4. So we can call her a bitch now? Cuz its the same thing as calling Obama black |
|
And yes I saw what Tina said and yes it was funny. But i was pretty surprised that they let her go on there and advocate for hillary Clinton like that.

13. I don't see it that way...... |
|
As I know that being a woman is NOT the new black. That's what would make that funny. Remember that as recently as 40 years ago, Black men were killed for even looking at White women in the south.
I believe that this is meant to show the absurdity of most of Hillary's claims about everything her campaign stands for.

found it offensive as a person of color and as a woman. Earlier someone said the use of the word "bitch" was sexist and made a thread about it. So I guess it's not sexist anymore because Tina Fey said it? I still don't think it's cool.

28. You remind me of Clerks 2. |
|
We're taking the term Porch Monkey back!
Can't own words, but you can limit their effect on yourself. That's about it. (Don't believe me? I bet I could use both words in ONE sentence that would piss you off...not that I want to, but words are public domain, for good or ill. And I'm getting esoteric on you...sorry. :) )
Been an ugly day here all around. Racism, sexism...ahhhh DU. ;) It is very sad that bitch is allowed here to the extent it is, but to be fair I think the mods do the best they can depending on alerts and mod consensus, etc.

21. She did a whole bit on it - |
|
She owned the word, called herself and Amy bitches, commented that there is a reason why nuns are the teachers instead of preists and at the end of school you know the capital of Vermont.
I am sure it will be on youtube soon and you won't be offended.

27. I don't think the point is that using the term bitch is ok. The point is that if strong women like |
|
Hillary Clinton or Tina Fey are going to be called that, then they may as well own it. It's similar to how some African-Americans believe in reclaiming the n-word. I, as a white male, realize that neither the b-word or n-word is acceptable for me to use.

I wouldn't hesitate to use the "B-word" as a compliment to certain strong, powerful women of my acquaintance.
But when I hear it used here and generally in political circles about Hillary, I know it's really in the same ill-spirit that the "N-word" is used outside of its circle.
In those respective contexts, those words are used as a curse or an insult, rather than a touchstone of shared experience.
This will make sense to some of you.
