Using the word witch to describe hillary clinton

When you know damn well they meant bitch. But these little fucking cowards dont have the guts to use the B word on a public forum because there too chicken shit to post what they actually want to say. i admit i never had to many friends on my facebook page but as of right now im down to 19. I just do not have the patients for this shit.

Honest question - How can people be so blatant so overt when it comes to sexism and mysogyny? I know people deathly afraid of saying the N word. But somehow the words people use against Clinton in reference to her gender is mind blowing.

Demonizing a woman is misogynistic and should be punished severely. It's time to call out those chickenshit assholes as the cowards they are because they'd utter those vile slurs only when they can hide behind like-minded drones in large groups.
