phrase, let it go through some committee, who then decides if a certain word is or is not bigoted, racist or sexist. Guess what, not all of them do and grown adults have other things to do than go through a phrase dictionary just LOOKING for something to post about.

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned - if you are a woman, own it, claim it, and move on; if you are a man, get over it. 'Cause you know what - those phrases are phrases for a reason, and a lot of them are true.

Isn't there other shit to get your panties in a wad over?

This constant pick-pick-pick-pick over people's word usage is getting old and running people away. This bullshit is a distraction, keeping us from having real discussions about real issues, not a phrase that has been out how freakin' long? I'm sure you know if you've done your research and then come back here tell us what and why we should be upset over it.

As a woman, who gives a flying rats ass? I don't, I have a life. When all people are fed, when all people have a snug, comfortable roof over their head, when all people have clean drinking water - THEN and ONLY THEN do we have time to parse dictionaries and phrase books.
