Poll: Is Megyn Kelly a superb journalist or a right wing hack?

48. Bimbo?

What does that word mean?

It's a put-down assigned to women (always women, and only women). It's a word of contempt, meaning the woman is very stupid and very pretty. Because it's derogatory and gender-specific and is based on male hatred of women, it's a misogynist slur. Rather like "whore", "slut" and "cunt." Those words imply contempt for a woman largely because she is female. Make sense?

There is no equivalent word for males. Why do you think that is? Who invented the word, "bimbo"? Who uses it? What stereotypes does it play to?

You are following the tried-and-true tactic of putting down a woman in gender-specific terms, even though your beef with her has to do with her character, not her gender. (Like Trump with his, "She's got blood coming out of her... wherever". Congrats on being in such good company.)

BTW, the meat of your post attacks her character (for choosing to work at Fox). That's fair. But it has nothing to do with her femaleness.

Let me guess: you frequently call women bimbos and whores whenever you disagree with them or dislike them. Your boss, the cop who tickets you, the lady who cuts you off in traffic. My, my. Aren't you a fine specimen.

I'm curious at the widespread acceptance your words are getting. Ten thousand liberals and Democrats and progressives on this site - and they're all okay with this.

Color me disgusted. But I'll stand up and be disgusted out loud, even if I'm (apparently) the only one who is.
