In reply to the discussion: Referring to women as the "c" word. [View all]Xyzse
(8,217 posts)Still, I was making a broader point in where people not just here get stuck with one or two words in a particular post and basically it invalidates their whole message since it gets stuck on the argument about terms.
Which is why, like I mentioned, is that yeah, it is not OK doing what was done, but not just for that, we'd have to still look over the point of the message.
I also agree that the piece is not really much else other than crudeness, but all I am saying is that people get fixated on these things, that the original topic gets lost sometimes.
Kinda like how, let's say the ACA, Republicans insert the abortion issue in there, and then people get fixated on just that, losing the point entirely. I am not saying that things are as drastic as that, just that people miss the forest due to the leaves/trees.
I am not defending the Rude Pundit on this one, just mentioning the trend.
