Unless you can quote me saying that, the fail is yours. I know where I stand on this - the use of whore towards women is denigrating. I suspect you knew that, but are just being dishonest.Actually, you haven't yet figured out that girls don't have penises. Ask your parents about that.
You said the word was denigrating towards women no matter the use.
Fail.
Ask you you shall receive. Here is you saying that terms denigrating towards women are unacceptable to you even after it is explained that the use of "whore" in this case wasn't meant in a derogatory way towards women.
You yourself identified the word "whore" as denigrating to women.
He didn't call her a political whore, did he?Phoney outrage? Can I say blacks who are outraged when someone uses the n-word have phoney outrage, too? Cool.
The use of 'whore' is promoting the denigration of women just as the n-word is promoting the denigration of blacks.
I must have missed the coining of the phrase, "******" as a political metaphor. Maybe you'd like to enlighten us as to its application and usage? The "whore" metaphor for political (lobbyist) and media usage has been around for quite some time, and that was the context in which it was used.
Urban Dictionary: political whore
Urban Dictionary: media whore
And, yeah, you did miss something.
Terms promoting the denigration of women are unacceptable to me. Your mileage varies, likely because of partisan selling-out.
Fail.
