In reply to the discussion: Foxy Ladies -- Why one network applies so much makeup [View all]hughee99
(16,113 posts)57. It's okay, they're presumably REPUBLICAN women,
so calling them a "slut", "tart", "streetwalker" or "circus clown" based on their makeup and wardrobe is okay. As much people find it offensive that Limpballs would call someone a slut based on a political disagreement, it seems to happen from DUers often enough too.
The difference is, when Dems say it about repukes, it's TRUE, so it's okay... yeah, we'll go with that until we can come up with some better justification for it.

Firstly, none of these women, on Fox or any other network, qualify for those slurs.

Not mad in the slightest. It's just that "makeup = pornstar" is an unusual attitude
