42. Yes, I understand why people
want to excuse their sexism, but I'm not buying what you're selling.

If I continually referred to Obama as a "pimp", would that be OK? No... it would get me banned.

But why? There are white pimps and black pimps and asian pimps... Nonetheless, it would be racist to do so, and it's sexist to use common negative stereotypes of women to depict Clinton.

The problem is so pervasive that many here can't even see it. It's a sad commentary.
