When cupcake gets a hide

[mercuryblues]

and whore doesn't.

Calling someone cupcake is sexist bullshit and gets a hide (as it should) But using the words pussy and whore are perfectly acceptable.

Well, the p-word is acceptable when you use it, not when you discuss and protest its use.

I guess the c-word is next up. Something needs to be done. I no longer feel comfortable or welcome reading GD. Imagine that, a democratic liberal not feeling welcome or wanted on a democratic message board.

1. "Calling someone" (another poster) and "using"aren't the same thing

More importantly, the "Nazi" prefix implies a different meaning

Lastly, while I agree that neither is acceptable... picking a Bush as a target makes otherwise unacceptable insults ok to many here.

2. The C word is fine if you say it about Kanye West.

Especially if you are a brittish feminist. Many will applaud. I learned that on DU.

5. I missed that

one.

3. I too am disgusted with the use of profane gendered slurs

but am not going to lament that the other poster got a hide. Remember his Christmas even 2013 call out of Sea. That and other similar posts have stood. So this time it went against him.

As for the other post, I saw it and knew there was no point alerting or even commenting. That stuff is all too common here.

4. That thread is a mess

The link goes to a fitness magazine, but the OP meant to link to Lyndon Larouche folk. And it gets over 100 recs

7. Larouche! ugh.

6. ugh. primary and election season are going to be especially nasty.

so bright I can see it from Florida.

Some of these posters are so right wing I don't see how they can honestly call themselves Democrats and truly don't think they do irl.
