Reply #137: that is absurd

The word is use ONLY AGAINST WOMEN, that is why it is sexist.

When used against men, it is to insult them by implicitly comparing them to women. It is similar to saying "he's a pussy" or "he's got no balls," phrases which make the sexism - the idea that women are inherently weak and cowardly - obvious.

Again, I would like to hear what other interpretations people have to the phrase "George Bush is a bitch." Explain to me the meaning of that insult. I assert that you can not interpret it in any way other than how I've described above.

Karen Hughes, Condi Rice, Ann Coulter - this insult is hurled ONLY AT WOMEN. Again, THAT is proof that it is sexist. People can argue all they want about how they would use it against men, but the fact is they don't, because it wouldn't make sense.

The word, as an insult, which is the specific use being considered for a ban here, is inherently sexist. There really is no way around that.
