23. The intent was not to label other women as promiscuous...

It was to point out that a pejorative is wrong. Certainly my response and point I was trying to make could have been better and with explanation. For that I apologize.

However, BernieBros is meant as an insult. As if all Bernie supporters are male meatheads. It is 100% a sexist term. It implies that we are dumb dumbs. It is not acceptable...just like HillaryHoochies is not acceptable. If people are trying to justify the continual use of the term BernieBros, a pejorative that is directed at male supporters, then it's hypocritical.
