12. I think she is often funny, but that - if true - crosses the line - like Roseanne her show should be

cancelled. Using that kind of language to attack someone - rather than calling them out for things they do, is completely inappropriate. We can not be seen as tolerating this because we don't like the Trumps.

As to Trump, I can remember my dad saying hundreds of times, 2 wrongs do not make a write -- and he was right on that.

Sam Bee called Princess a CUNT...and I missed it... [View all] jodymarie aimee May 2018 OP

"Trump does it too" is not an excuse brooklynite May 2018 #1

I don't care if Sam Bee used it... It shouldn't be directly referenced anymore than the "N" word hlthe2b May 2018 #2

I do not think that a slang word for vagina is anywhere closte to using the N word. pennylane100 May 2018 #5

American usage of the word is almost always specifically gendered. moriah May 2018 #14

I think your response is a good reply Exotica May 2018 #143

You OBVIOUSLY did not read my post. First sentence references your excuse hlthe2b May 2018 #21

Of course it is offensive, thats the point. pennylane100 May 2018 #50

Keep using it here and see if you are always lucky via jury decisions. Read the TOS hlthe2b May 2018 #55

Of course I would never use it here, or outside the house for that matter. pennylane100 May 2018 #66

You really don't get it or don't WANT to get it. No one condones using gender slurs of any kind hlthe2b May 2018 #73

Well, I was just thinking that it is you THAT REALLY DOES NOT GET IT. pennylane100 May 2018 #89

You are so off base and YOU are not in the UK... hlthe2b May 2018 #130

and I am sure that British subjects everywhere thank you for also not being there. pennylane100 May 2018 #139

I would be respectful of language (and other differences) in Great Britain. I'm well traveled and hlthe2b May 2018 #140

"No one condones gender slurs of any kind" MicaelS May 2018 #124

It shouldn't occur. I've voted to hide on juries. But do your really think one wrong makes right?! hlthe2b May 2018 #129

It's not ironic, it's a sad reflection of the way misogyny developed in language here. moriah May 2018 #135

Next time you are in traffic court use that word quartz007 May 2018 #134

Then you don't know that to Americans it is an ugly, misogynistic slur. n/t pnwmom May 2018 #95

Context is all. Orsino May 2018 #16

no more than you can use the "n" word here. Context be damned. It IS a gender slur. hlthe2b May 2018 #23

It usually is a slur. Orsino May 2018 #27

Did you even read my initial post? I let you know why it is so despicable to women who hlthe2b May 2018 #31

I just told you that I find it objectionable, too. Orsino May 2018 #39

It has been banned in the past via the TOS... Currently some appear to be more hlthe2b May 2018 #46

The n-word isn't a slur against femininity. Orsino May 2018 #65

There was no reason to spell it out--any more than to do so with the N word. It is contemptous hlthe2b May 2018 #132

I used to work in a print advertising office as an outside sales rep. pennylane100 May 2018 #96

That's a word I'm trying to eliminate from my vocabulary, too. Orsino May 2018 #118

I totally disagree. For some women it is the most appropriate term. Shrike47 May 2018 #112

Have you EVER had it used against YOU and your female colleagues in the workplace? hlthe2b May 2018 #131

Use it to address the female judge next time quartz007 May 2018 #136

Will do. Borchkins May 2018 #18

Well they also use the terms fag and faggot for a couple of things MrsCoffee May 2018 #19

And you had to put it in all caps? Tipperary May 2018 #15

That term is outdated. Tipperary May 2018 #49

It was shorter than Female comedian, and I wanted to get it all in the subject line. ehrnst May 2018 #52

Feminist comedienne is shorter that female comedian? Tipperary May 2018 #63

Shorter than "Female feminist comedian" also less clumsy sounding. ehrnst May 2018 #68
