"Nasty Woman" ...

... please forgive this white male (me) for mansplaining ...

That said, IMO those two words "Nasty Woman" ... words that seem, to this white male, to have been proudly embraced by women of ALL ages across the nation... are possibly the single most powerful two words I've ever seen in my lifetime in this context.

Being a male, I feel there is only so much I can, and should, say on this issue. But I hope others on this forum can expand (and/or correct me) on this topic.

I know this topic has been discussed before, but as someone whose job includes words, idiom and language... it only just hit me this morning how powerful these two words are when embraced by over half the population. I'm not sure if I have ever seen two words possess so much power in recent history.

This will probably be the first and last time I will ever say this, but: "Thank you Donald Trump!"
