I'm sorry -- why is it suddenly right and good to hurl a slur that men use to demean and dehumanize women at a woman with whose conduct one disagrees? And what is wrong with her outfit? The SF srticle was silly but this just seems petty and mean?

the ex food critic is the one who brought up her clothes as a costume for infiltration of the event. that's clownish.

my "silly bitch" comes from Monty Python movie (i think) referring to a woman acting a fool. it applies to the idiot pretending to spy on a secret organization (in her mind)

she's a Handmaiden for an ideology ready to remove all physical safety from women & designate us as merely lesser men. cuz ya know, men make better women in the 2SLGBTQIAP++ cult.

Women calling other women the B word doesn't bother me too much. Maybe it's offensive, maybe it's also an epithet that fits, not meant to be petty and mean. I'll save my disgust for women like the handmaiden, ex-food critic, treacherous infiltrator and give Emma some slack. I also called a male troll a d*ck on another substack. Meant just to offend him, not other men. Oh well.

in my world, "bitch" is not a female dog.

it's a trifling, petty, dishonest, blame game feminine energy.. applies to men also. (Bronx, NY)

Maybe the gender neutral term “asshole” might be less offensive than “bitch”. 😉

And here's what I was called on Spinster, a supposedly feminist site, by a woman who calls herself a radical feminist: "a Trump-sucking cunt." In all my communications with men online I have never had one of them insult me. I am watching "feminism" destroy itself just like I watched in the 1970s, very depressing.

Calling you something that awful says more about her as an individual woman with unjustified contempt for another woman, and nothing about you and thankfully not much about feminism, imo anyway. You probably challenged her and she didn't like it, so chose to hurl abuse instead of arguing or disagreeing coherently. Feminism as a truthful and valuable philosophy still stands on its own merits, even if all the women who called themselves feminists were as stupid and nasty as she was. Sorry you had to put up with that.

Many thanks for your sympathy! It does say a lot about her as an individual; my guess is that she was drunk at the time.

I have been avoiding the internecine warfare currently going on among feminists; I've heard of it but don't want to know about it, which is unusual for me. The same old crap that was probably brought to us by government provocateurs in the 1970s is apparently being brought to us again: dismissal of women's desire to have children, women who are in relationships with men, women who dress flamboyantly, basically women who don't follow some unknown party line.

Amazing, the woman has both subtlety and charm. Subtlety, charm and a great fashion sense! Plus a smirk that could move multitudes...

I see a hefty, Asian lesbian with no fashion sense. Was that the look she was going for?

Clark, Kent, levels of disguise.

No would would ever know she was “queer”.

So safe.

If only I could hide my screaming homosexuality as completely and adeptly.

Maybe I could become a restaurant critic.
