I get that they have true affection for one another, but with the position she's about to be in, perhaps skip the intimacies and focus on the respect?

Dunno about anybody else, but Bill gets my back up here. nt SusanCalvin Oct 2016 #1
The word "Hillary" would have sufficed. Barack_America Oct 2016 #4

No. Most republicans are not saying it to sing her praises. Context and content matters. AgadorSparticus Oct 2016 #74
I'm referring to the term "my" as in "my girl" hughee99 Oct 2016 #86
I know what you meant. It is not a matter of excusing it b/c someone is a Democrat AgadorSparticus Oct 2016 #87
I don't think most people misunderstand the usage and context because they're focused on 1 word. hughee99 Oct 2016 #88
This whole thread is an example of it. Bill Clinton gave an entire speech praising Hillary AgadorSparticus Oct 2016 #89

This "outrage" is what gives feminism a bad name. AgadorSparticus Oct 2016 #75
no, this sort of navel gazing is what people use to excuse their lack of support for feminism. nt La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2016 #81
Navel gazing? romanic Oct 2016 #96
Like pretending that saying my girl is offensive La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2016 #109

This isn't feminism. It is oversensitivity. There is a difference. AgadorSparticus Oct 2016 #98
Do you understand what I'm saying? La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2016 #107
Terms of endearment aren't always condescension. That is where content and context comes in AgadorSparticus Oct 2016 #113
You misunderstood what I said and are now waging La Lioness Priyanka Oct 2016 #115
When 3 people don't understand what you are trying to say, then perhaps it is how you said it AgadorSparticus Oct 2016 #121
