Just now on Andrea's show. She keeps asking the leading question "Do you feel betrayed by the US?"
Bitch!

(4,170 posts)I remember one poster telling about what he would say to a someone coming to his door (cant remember the reason).
In his imaginary story, the worker was female and he kicked her off his doorstep while using that word.
So obvious.

Same posters do it, and if I can spot that then Im sure posters with more time here can too.

(16,349 posts)I have resigned myself to the fact that I am going to encounter gendered slurs online, and I can't control this for the most part. But at DU? NO. Not acceptable.
This should NOT be allowed here.
*Like I just did.

edit: Oh wow! Either through the common usage of it in our social vernacular or being tired of the topic at hand I didnt see the sexist slur at the end. WTF?
