At a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on Monday night, Trump called WNBA player Sophie Cunningham “a beautiful young woman,” but also singled out her scoring average this season, according to People. “You probably wouldn’t mind her on the team, not to help you with points, but to help you with attendance. The attendance would be great.”

Your response to the president objectifying a woman is by objectifying the same woman? We’re fucking cooked, bro
Honestly, I don’t really have a huge problem with using the tactics that regressive assholes use against said assholes. The article itself points out and directly quotes this woman’s anti-trans proclivities, so I see no issue with treating her in the same exclusionary and diminishing fashion that she would treat others. Conservatives do not learn fucking anything until and unless it hits them in the face.
I don’t think more misogyny will hit them in the face, they approve of it. You’ll just be lowering your own level.
Nah. I’m just refusing to fall victim to the paradox of tolerance.
Tolerance of what? Women?
Fascists and bigots.
Dog, I’m not saying she’s a good person, but by forming your anger to her in the shape of misogyny, you’re normalizing misogyny.
I don’t entirely disagree with your point because she is a gross person, but using misogyny against a woman you don’t like signals you are a misogynist to other people you may be more aligned with.
It’s fair to point that out. But at the same time, I refuse to be respectful to someone who holds a worldview that is intrinsically disrespectful to specific people based on their identity. I get that some will be offended by how sharply I might interact with a regressive, vapid quim, but I think it’s important to refuse any sort of grace, respect, or tolerance to intolerant psychologies.
Well…that is the culture US conservatives all share, isn’t it?
