Is there any hope that I can ever make anyone here (DU, not this group, [View All]

obviously) understand that belittling someone, even someone as vile as Ann Coulter, by calling her a c--- is really making slanderous and demeaning remarks about all women. (Also, bitch-slap, whore, etc.). The men in charge here don't, can't, won't see this as an issue and many women here use the word and remark that it is okay to use the term since they are women. I put this word and the other feminine-rooted epithets right up there with racial slurs. That is how they effect me and my daughters and my friends (and enemies) and my foremothers and all women. Our culture still sees us as less than. The powers that be always will use any wedge they can (language) to continue to keep us in our place as long as they are acquiesced the power to do so.
