A fact of the public domain is not circular logic, idiot.
Actually you just provided yet another example of the same thing.
- "It's vile"
- "it's recognized as such"
- "It's a 'fact of the public domain'"
- "It's a publicly known fact"
All restatements of the same thing in different words. Circular reasoning. "It is because it is" is not a reason. It's a circle. It's avoiding the question.
When you can't articulate the reasoning that brought the conclusion --- you don't have one.
Let me simplify for you, simpleton.
It's an insult.
It's always an insult.
It's arguably the worst, most unforgivable insult you can use to a woman.
Sally Fields may be trying to "reclaim" it - as though it has ever been anything BUT an insult - but it ain't gonna happen. I am willing to bet money that using it to a woman is always going to be viewed as justifiable cause for slapping you until your eyes switch sockets.
Once again -- I wouldn't purport to speak for Sally Fields' intentions, even though the theory is strong. But that's not my point. My point is to solicit any basis of reasoning --- other than circular --- for the premise "it's an insult" --- let alone "it's always an insult" (which is demonstrably false).
The question was, is now, and ever shall be, **
WHY** it is "an insult". That that question cannot be answered is in fact, the answer.
I don't accept premises that cannot show their "why". No one should.
It's a moot point at this point, as the poster I directed that question to above, eventually grokked exactly what I was getting at, in post 109. You should read it.
