2. We get it- you're outraged and have nothing but contempt for Noem

And with good reason.

However:

The Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for approximately 171,476 words in current use, along with 47,156 obsolete words. Overall, it documents over 600,000 words and phrases from the English language

Perhaps you might consider revising your word choice in your headline, lest your casual, emotional use of the word “whore”, create a permission structure for others to use the b-word and c-word for women they are mad at.

Just sayin’

3. "...create a permission structure..."?

Haven't heard that one before. A new scold meme?

7. It's a concept that's been around for decades

Trump’s election denialism “Will be wild!” Tweet, and rally created a permission structure for the January 6 insurrection.

The fake “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and the use of dehumanizing language and images created a permission structure for antisemitism and ultimately the Holocaust.

Lies about immigrant crime, eating pets, etc. create a permission structure for ICE to terrorize immigrant communities.

Using dehumanizing language, such as comparing people to vermin or insects(rather than accurate but unemotional descriptors of contemptible actions), about political opponents creates a permission structure for political violence.

Casually using the misogynist word “whore” in an emotional tirade against a woman whose actions are disgusting and contemptible, if unchallenged, creates a permission structure for others to use other misogynistic terms.

Words have meaning, and word choice matters.

4. Or, you could mind your own business

6. Well, that's an overused suggestion, too, that really

has no application in this thread. A lot of that going around, I hear.

8. In case you hadn't noticed...

This is a discussion board, not an echo chamber.

I’m discussin’.

5. How does that DHS scandal relate to your name-calling

of Noem? The names don't seem to relate to what happened at all, so I'm no sure why you listed them. Better words are available, I think.

9. This lady is suing and should win

This case will be fun to watch
