(29,137 posts)Explain that to us....How does it not "make sense"?
Why is it okay to demean women with the word "bitch",
but NOT okay to slur a person for their race or sexual orientation?
Race and Gender, at least, are BOTH conditions of birth...Why are insults
to one "important", but insults to the other not?
Until you can explain THAT you haven't "figured out" anything.
P.S. Who says "80 percent of DU "gets" what you're saying, while 20 percent
doesn't?...Where do you get those figures from, this thread?
If so, I can only say that you do have a bit more "thinking through" to do,
since at LEAST 80 percent, of those on THIS thread are male, and that makes sense given the predominant sentiment here, but men do not represent "80 percent" of DU. I don't know if there's ever been a gender breakdown for
DU, but It's a known fact that most democrats are FEMALE, not male.
