Fair enough, I agree with this. And it sort of highlights my point further. To women the word bitch is demeaning because of it’s historical use to demean and “put them in their place”, for men it’s demeaning since it compares them to women, which in their minds is a bad thing. On two levels the word is associated with…

THOT is sexist, in a vacuum. The issue is that inserting a ‘sexism’ argument into every scenario, like this one, is disingenuous. It’s not important because this man’s response to this brazen attack (while he’s at work) is not ‘telling’ of anything. It’s not ‘indicative’ of sexism in society.
I realize the two are not equivalent, but they are related.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In this case, I was more focused on “thot”, but I think bitch is sexist MOST of the time because it is primarily reserved for women or to de-masculinize men (so, insult them for being like women). I think that there is room for it to become normalized for all genders but that it’s not there yet.
Dude, I’m not saying she’s not a shitty person or anything like that. She’s terrible. The worst. Just saying we don’t have to hurl sexist slurs at a shitty woman. Just like we don’t have to hurl racist slurs at a shitty person of color. Invoking sexism just hurts all women. That’s all it accomplishes.
Being a woman does not insulate one from the consequences of being a rotten, horrible asshole. Seems like the sobriquets apply here.

Or, maybe you just have comprehension issues and feel like throwing a fit over realizing it.
I had an existential crisis once watching basketball. I realized I was deeply invested in watching grown men try to stick a ball through a hoop. Suddenly, everything I cared about dissolved into abstract concepts, all ultimately meaningless. It shattered me to my core.
Hey, that’s a really good response, thanks!
I think it’s an interesting indicator because Trump did not win the popular vote, and did not win the vote of any racial minority group. And a lot of people feel that the electoral college should have stopped him, because of these things, and because stopping people who rise with the type of rhetoric that he did was…
But...but..Netflix didn’t make money from those...lol.
The truly ironic thing being that the Founding Fathers intended for the Constitution to evolve with the times, and put mechanisms in place to make changes to it. So these “originalists” look really stupid when they try to interpret the Constitution as though it’s still 1789.
“I steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that society may have advanced in any way in the last 240 years. I believe, as the Founding Fathers did that........”
Speaking of grace, a related point...
No. He needs a reality show instead. Best guest ever on Bear Grylls.
It’s funnier when you realize $64.11+$5.89=$70.00
