When you drop the second word in that context, it becomes a sexist slur -- Courage has zero to do with genitals -- That should be blatently obvious by now.

given that it's a gesture of indifference. .

Sexist slurs are SUPPOSED to violate DU rules.

7. "'He's a pussy.' That's terrible"
Thu Jan 30, 2020, 11:47 AM
Jan 2020
During a campaign rally in New Hampshire, Trump hit back at then-rival Ted Cruz by quoting a woman in the audience who called the Texas senator a "pussy."

"She just said a terrible thing," Trump said. "You know what she said? Shout it out. OK, you're not allowed to say, and I never expect to hear that from you again," Trump said with what The Washington Post called "mock seriousness."

"She said—I never expect to hear that from you again!—she said, 'He's a pussy.' That's terrible," Trump continued.

In an interview after the fact on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Trump was unapologetic, insisting he was merely repeating the insult because "people couldn't hear it."

"So I was doing everybody a favor," he said. "We were all just having fun."

ya all have a sense of humor compared to those that never got their hands dirty. I worked in a Detroit car factory for 30 years and there were salt of the earth women I worked with that could make a sailor blush. I then went on to get a minor in Cultural Anthropology and learned a lot about how groups think other groups are gross and nuts, while the group they are talking about think the same about them. Hey, that's how the world works and keeps people thinking they got it all figured out. Go nurses, both men and women nurses.

Fortunately, I'm not the type of person who is tightly-wound, and I can take things in stride without making a mountain out of a molehill... I'm fortunate in that I can keep things in perspective without looking for reasons to be personally offended every time someone opens their mouth or insults a political enemy. It's more fun to laugh than to be perpetually angry at everybody for everything.

With all due respect, a lot of supposedly "progressive" men here seem to enjoy Trump's "gutter", at least when he's sliming women.

Ask all the questions equally. When his questions come, replay clips of him commenting on the subject.

Just have all the clips lined up ready to play upon selection for the questions and debate between candidates. Why in the hell is the country letting him off the hook of what should be done to tyrants who break laws in front of the Chief Justice as his lawyers have been doing throughout the impeachment?

Let the motherfucker reap what he sows and let the American People really see what a imbecile piece of shit he is.
