Yep more misogynistic bullshit. we can do it Jul 2019 #4

Now you know you're not supposed to throw cold water on a good puritopian post. wyldwolf Jul 2019 #17
How about 'rips' and 'claps back?' Any issues with those? wyldwolf Jul 2019 #15
I HATE "claps back". UGH. Media trying to appear "cool" oldsoftie Jul 2019 #20
How about "smacks." It appears to be an equal opportunity offender wyldwolf Jul 2019 #23
And just today, we have an OP about Harris; "shuts down" Megan McCain. oldsoftie Jul 2019 #45
which isn't really a good thing for Harris. My border collie could shut down Megan McCain. wyldwolf Jul 2019 #63
Notice that Sanders "attacks," Biden "snipes," but Harris "knocks" and "chides"? wyldwolf Jul 2019 #21
Ever notice how nail-in-the-coffin-of-a-thread responses like yours never get an answer from the OP Bradshaw3 Jul 2019 #32
The more worrying part is, Hav Jul 2019 #47
Good point n/t Bradshaw3 Jul 2019 #52

I missed the whole point of the thread, watoos Jul 2019 #22
Got it in 1 mcar Jul 2019 #24
I Think Posters Have Misunderstood the Point the OP Was Making ProfessionalLeft Jul 2019 #27
but as you may have seen from other replies, the same words are used for male, female, black, white wyldwolf Jul 2019 #30
The fact that they're occasionally used to describe white men doesn't mean there's not an obvious EffieBlack Jul 2019 #59
Occasionally? No, often, much more often wyldwolf Jul 2019 #61
Why are you getting yourself so worked up? EffieBlack Jul 2019 #66
You know what's weird? wyldwolf Jul 2019 #67
I wish they wouldn't use loaded words like those when commenting about anybody. The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2019 #28
Yes, I'd like a general de-emphasis of the word "attack." Timer Jul 2019 #36
The perspective may depend on who is your candidate? left-of-center2012 Jul 2019 #31
seems like it depends whether it's a man or a woman Skittles Jul 2019 #37
Just apply DU phrases: Bash, Smear, assassinate, hit job..... brooklynite Jul 2019 #33

There should be more 'eviscerates' IMO crazytown Jul 2019 #39
Those terms aren't limited to any one candidate. Go ahead and google... TCJ70 Jul 2019 #40
To "snipe" is to be petty. That language is exclusively held for women candidates. silentEcho Jul 2019 #50
Nope. TCJ70 Jul 2019 #53
I saw another post showing the term was used for Biden. Thanks for that. silentEcho Jul 2019 #55

Harris smiles all over the place. You are right. It is a absurd accusation toward Harris. silentEcho Jul 2019 #57
Yup... SidDithers Jul 2019 #48
I do notice this. Harris is being petty. The other in the field is merely being strong. silentEcho Jul 2019 #49
Yes I had noticed. It's not "interesting" it's sexist. Merlot Jul 2019 #51
I'm getting a kick out of folks scrambling to find any example of "snipe" or "attack" being used EffieBlack Jul 2019 #58

Just wait till people start calling her "hysterical" like they did Hillary in 2008 Kaleva Jul 2019 #62
