I wanted to call Trump a c*nt, but...

... he's not deep and warm. (could have been "deep or warm" )

This was the wonderful text (without the asterisks) of a placard at one of the recent Women's Marches. I want to redeem the word! The sentiment is brilliant. I figured my post would get banned if I didn't use the asterisks.

Anyway, does anyone know where that picture of the woman carrying the placard appeared? Google is no help.

p.s. Many edits because a quote followed by a close paren kept showing up as an emoji I didn't want.

1. Search Trump lacks depth and warmth

[LAS14]

4. Oh, wow!!! I didn't realize it had already entered the world...

... of tee shirts!!! That's great.

2. It's an ugly word, always said with ugliness & contempt, the sign notwithstanding.

The elderly woman with the sign was using it for shock value. I don't think she was intending to bring the word into common usage.

[LAS14]

5. Ah.... but I can see glimmers of possibility of making it NOT an ugly word. nt

[MrsCoffee]

7. I don't think so.

[SharonClark]

11. No way and why bother.

[LAS14]

12. Because feminine sexuality has been loaded with "ugly". See post #2. nt

15. I've little doubt your new, alternative definition is quite the priority to you.

I've little doubt your new, alternative definition is quite the priority to you. I've even less doubt that you'll soon allege a sincere justification for it.

By their fruits we shall know them...

17. ??? How could you possibly know what my priorities are?? What's the point of your comment??

[Demit]

16. You have a lot of nerve.

I said the word was ugly. I said that people use it to show contempt. And usually the people who use it are men, to convey how lowly women are in their estimation, nothing but a useful receptacle. What I said has NOTHING to do with female sexuality. Or feminine sexuality, whatever you think that is. You are a very confused individual.

18. Because reclaiming terms reclaims their power over us.

Personally, I've found it rather interesting how that word, especially when used specifically at a woman to attempt to insult her by defining her by her anatomy, is almost always used when they can't get access to said anatomy willingly.

There's power there to reclaim, I believe, because we ARE the gender that can bring forth life, the gender that scared them so much by that capacity that they had to control everything about it, and therefore, us and our lives. The gender that rose up and still refuses to be controlled by that power we have.

But I'm known to be a total weirdo.

6. Did she actually originate the phrase? nt

[Demit]

9. What phrase?

[LAS14]

10. Sentence, not phrase. The first sentence in the OP.

Some woman had a placard with it, and I now see that there are lots of tee shirts available with it. So did that woman with the placard get it started?

[demmiblue]

8. Amazing, isn't it?!

[Tipperary]

14. Agree. eom

[Bucky]

3. No, but he's REALLY easy to trigger...

and prone to leaks

[Orsino]

13. Call him a Can't.

'Cause he can't do anything right, and can't even get *wrong* right.
