ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Pussy is a sexist and homophobic term.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Apr 25, 2012, 01:33 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Try using something less sexist than "Pussy." How about, "pusillanimous," which is where this use of the word "pussy" actually comes from.

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No, thanks. See ya!
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: As with many of the words alerted on, "pussies" has more than one meaning. considering the context, leave it.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
