Reply #57: Matters not a whit. And vent all you want on a NON-sexist basis. [View All]

That's all. Simple. Easy. All it takes is a little decorum, a little restraint, a little common sense, and letting go of one's sexism just a little bit.

Oh, and if I call myself a bitch, doesn't mean you get to. Or if a black person calls him or herself a N-word, doesn't mean you get to.

NOR is Coulter's own really awful behavior or fascist politics any excuse -- as I said, criticize her all you want in non-sexist terms. After all, the whole point of eliminating (or at least reducing) sexist language is that sexism hurts ALL women: you can't have a sexism that hurts only Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin and Laura Bush. Sexism hurts all women. Just as you can't have racism that hurts just Clarence Thomas or Armstrong Jones. Racism hurts all members of that race of ethnicity. (And I'm NOT saying it would be "okay" for there to be a selective sexism or racism -- I'm merely trying to point out the opposite, that this type of bigotry hurts the entire group, not just the bad asses among them.)
