Or bitches or any other deplorable words. Do you think I should remove this? I thought it was reclaiming the word.

All of us....
That way, it refers to both men and women fighting back.
And, pu$$y would refer to supposed weakness rather than genitalia.

I have to say the too politically correct people annoy me too. After the VP debate I immediately started using Pu$$Y Pence...well wouldn't you know someone said that my remark was sexist (LOL)...which I don't understand...but would it of been sexist if I had said "Prick Pence"....as I said we need to lighten up and save the outrage for shit that matters.

I guess it does not matter to you that women are referred to in such vulgar terms. By your post, you feel that what trump said is perfectly fine.

I hate to break it to ya, but yeah, there are many women out there who do not like to be reduced to vulgar terms to describe their gender. They do not like to be thought of as nothing more than their sex organs. It is that attitude that leads people like trump to think it is ok to grab and grope at will, because a woman is not a person. Just another P** to grab.

That is the crux here..not that he said pussy...but that he can grab it and he can because of his power.

His words, not just his actions, telegraph his misogyny.

same thing ...I agree he is a misogynist that is very clear. But it's not because he used the word pussy.

disgusting. It reduces women down to their sex organs and insinuates they don't have a brain to think with. It says women are too stupid to decide who should be president, so they will let their p** decide for them.

He was a fearsome dude who also loved to hug me, so much so that it was his last act on this earth. When he was angry, grown men ran from him. RIP, beloved.
