10. Because a joke about a sex worker isn't 'misogyny'. Oh you're free to call it...

...what you want, but you aren't free from the return criticism (just as I am not free from yours, nor would I want to be!). I don't think it's calling Hillary herself a Paid Performer, but I do get the sense that the OP is referring to the positions in the campaign as such. I don't find that an unfair comparison, particularly with all the 'reinvention' that seems to go on hourly.

Now, if that makes me a problematic 'Bernie girl', so be it. Slap that label on me, I have room for plenty. But don't act like it's some unconscionable offense, some horrible statement that denigrates all women everywhere.

Exactly who's price is being negotiated here? randys1 Feb 2016 #1
