re: #89 Obdicut
Frankly, it never even occurred to me to link “shrieking harpy” to Geller’s appearance. What does a “shrieking harpy” look like, anyway?
It was always about her personality and her hate speech. The word “harpy” is feminine, but it connotes a raging, out of control, dangerous person.
Sarah, I understand what you’re saying, but it’s just not about sexism for me. It’s a derogatory term, yes, but it’s based on her long history of deranged hate speech, not on her gender or her appearance.
