1. isn't calling Senator Clinton a bitch sexist?

[DURHAM D]

3. Not in the way Tina rolled it out on SNL. n/t

[ccharles000]

25. love it

:toast:

[Dr. Strange]

2. Bitches get stuff done.

:rofl:

[DURHAM D]

5. "Get on board Texas and Ohio. Bitches get stuff done. Bitch is the new Black. n/t

[0007]

10. .....with much aggravation. Much like a gadfly.

[MadBadger]

4. So we can call her a bitch now? Cuz its the same thing as calling Obama black

And yes I saw what Tina said and yes it was funny. But i was pretty surprised that they let her go on there and advocate for hillary Clinton like that.

[DURHAM D]

7. Why? n/t

[Tess99]

8. Well, I won't vote for that bitch.

[DURHAM D]

9. Who cares? n/t

[PinkTiger]

19. Well, good for you.

I won't vote for a sonofabitch.

[FrenchieCat]

13. I don't see it that way......

As I know that being a woman is NOT the new black. That's what would make that funny. Remember that as recently as 40 years ago, Black men were killed for even looking at White women in the south.

I believe that this is meant to show the absurdity of most of Hillary's claims about everything her campaign stands for.

[DURHAM D]

16. Obviously you either didn't see it or

you are challenged in ways that can not be addressed.

[flyarm]

38. nahhhhhhhhhh she didn't see it!! lmao...eom

[DemBones DemBones]

15. You think "black" is an insult???

Get real.

[Hoof Hearted]

50. Why wouldn't they "let" her?

Edited to add, who the fuck is "they?" She writes much of the show. 'prolly owns a good piece of it too.

[Tess99]

6. You think that was a compliment? LOL

I guess the Clintonistas will grab on to anything in the last days. LOL

[redstate_democrat]

12. I personally

found it offensive as a person of color and as a woman. Earlier someone said the use of the word "bitch" was sexist and made a thread about it. So I guess it's not sexist anymore because Tina Fey said it? I still don't think it's cool.

32. Since you're a long time DUer, I'm sure you know the rules.

[redstate_democrat]

36. And why is that?

Because I know how to use a laptop? BEcause I have Internet service? How could you possibly presume to know who I am? YOU can simply go to Hell.

[DemBones DemBones]

20. Thank you. It is a sexist term that is not allowed at DU

even if Tina Fey says it.

[DURHAM D]

22. It is constantly allowed on DU.

Time for women to own it. Men not so much.

As an older lesbian I also own dyke and queer. But you can't if you are not.

[Forkboy]

28. You remind me of Clerks 2.

We're taking the term Porch Monkey back!

Can't own words, but you can limit their effect on yourself. That's about it. (Don't believe me? I bet I could use both words in ONE sentence that would piss you off...not that I want to, but words are public domain, for good or ill. And I'm getting esoteric on you...sorry. :) )

Been an ugly day here all around. Racism, sexism...ahhhh DU. ;)

It is very sad that bitch is allowed here to the extent it is, but to be fair I think the mods do the best they can depending on alerts and mod consensus, etc.

[KAZ]

33. Sorry, who are you to tell me what I can say. You don't "own"

shit.

[DemBones DemBones]

11. Sounds like she agrees with Yoko Ono. nt

[BlackVelvet04]

17. It's not funny....

it's inappropriate and women aren't bitches....female dogs are bitches and Tina Fey making a joke out of it isn't cute.

[DURHAM D]

21. She did a whole bit on it -

She owned the word, called herself and Amy bitches, commented that there is a reason why nuns are the teachers instead of preists and at the end of school you know the capital of Vermont.

I am sure it will be on youtube soon and you won't be offended.

[Metric System]

24. What was the wording of her dig at Oprah? I loved that too. Well really it was a dig at women who've

let Oprah decided for them.

[Forkboy]

23. Oh great, now Bitch is ok.

Someone get back to me when you all have figured out if it's good or not. :)

[Metric System]

27. I don't think the point is that using the term bitch is ok. The point is that if strong women like

Hillary Clinton or Tina Fey are going to be called that, then they may as well own it. It's similar to how some African-Americans believe in reclaiming the n-word. I, as a white male, realize that neither the b-word or n-word is acceptable for me to use.

[Forkboy]

31. I know. I was being a pain in the ass.

I'm like that. :spank:

[Raejeanowl]

46. Exactly n/t

I wouldn't hesitate to use the "B-word" as a compliment to certain strong, powerful women of my acquaintance.

But when I hear it used here and generally in political circles about Hillary, I know it's really in the same ill-spirit that the "N-word" is used outside of its circle.

In those respective contexts, those words are used as a curse or an insult, rather than a touchstone of shared experience.

This will make sense to some of you.

[VenusRising]

48. Now I have Lewis Black in my head,

Eggs are good.
Eggs are bad.
Eggs are good.
Eggs are bad.
Well it's really the yolk that's bad the white is ok.

Make up your mind!! It's breakfast. I gotta eat!

/Lewis Black monologue

[Forkboy]

51. LOL...he kills me.

Just picturing him pointing and gesturing makes me laugh. :)

[tammywammy]

26. So now it's okay to call Clinton a bitch?

I get so confused on here. :crazy:

[Forkboy]

29. Only every other day.

If it's an odd numbered day then it's ok. Even numbered then fuck you. ;)

[flyarm]

39. sorry, it would only be every other wednesday for you! and that would be predicated on if

you are really a boy or girl..if you are a boy..it would be only every other year..and on the days that are clear and cloudy , with a light dry drizzle.

got that?

if you are a girl..own it !

ok ..proceed.

fly

[murielm99]

30. See post #27.

He explains it perfectly. Or are you that humor-challenged?

[tammywammy]

34. Yeah I saw it

It was after my post. I find it perfectly fine to use, but knowing DU it's not.

"Or are you that humor-challenged?" :eyes:

[murielm99]

37. Awwww, are you rolling your eyes at me sweetie?

How mature.

Bless your heart.

[casus belli]

47. Only if you're a woman.

edit: being a comedian helps

[loveangelc]

35. lol I'm sure the older women of TX and OH will love that slogan.

[Maddy McCall]

40. I'm a native Texan. I'm older than you. I loved it.

[Aviation Pro]

41. And don't forget, bitches whelp sons-of-bitches.....

...isn't that right Babs, you silver douchebag?

[Maddy McCall]

42. Obviously, you didn't see SNL tonight.

[Aviation Pro]

44. Don't need to....

...it's all bullshit to me.

[Maddy McCall]

45. Well, this is a thread about SNL. But if you feel the need to chime in...

even though you've not seen the show...OK.

[FlyingSquirrel]

43. Why do I now have an Elton John song in my head?

:silly:

[Egalia]

49. Sanity at last!! SNL Rocks! n/t
