re: #86 windsagio

Are you saying CL was being awful and sexist to Gellar, then? Or what?

I think ‘shrieking harpy’ is something that’d only be applied to a woman, just like ‘cro-magnon thug’ would only get applied to a guy. I’m not sure that represents actual misogyny, or just gender worked into our language, nor do I really see any benefit to using specifically gender-neutral insults— as long as the insult itself is not just “you’re female”.

And unflattering pictures of people is something that definitely crosses gender lines, or Boehner wouldn’t have it so rough.
