Actually, I thought his comment about senator Landrieu was funny. Politically, she is high maintenance.

[...] her. His sexism has steadily increased. The New Agenda has a video clip of him saying about Senator Mary Landrieu “I know you’re hooking but you’re just not [...]

I agree 100% that the terms “whore”, “hooker”, “ho” etc. are misogyny-charged double insults. That is why they are misogynistic even when used against men. They are based on a “blame the female victim” ideology. Johns and pimps are the perpetrators. Prostitutes are their victims. The misogynistic culture chooses to insult the victims and give the perpetrators a free pass.

Oh, and Glen Beck is a sick joke. And we need to stand up for all women against sexist, misogynistic attacks, not just the women we like.

oh and sexism, as blatant as this, is vile, no matter who is the target. I don’t feel it is necessary to explain how this is hypocritical, but it is also dangerous to the women’s movement to allow women we don’t like, for whatever reasons, valid political dislike, to be targets of misogyny and sexism. Then we become the women on the sidelines in stonings, and burnings, and beatings.

I feel like a lot of the time, men in any professional setting, walk around with big signs on them that say “I’m a man.” Nearly everything they say is to express the fact that they are a man (sports/wives etc). And it seems they can’t deal with a woman without pointing out in some way that she is a woman, because they know that to do so, because of society’s hatred of women, gives them a leg up. The reporting on female politicians, especially Hillary and Palin can all be reworded: “She’s a woman”.

That’s all it is, on repeat.

If it seems that I have put Landreiu on trial, it is because her sell out will cause serious damage to me and my loved ones if this Health Care fraud gets passed. That is not to say that Glenn Beck should not apologize for his sexist remark and perhaps he should. I am just choosing my battles here and I have been fighting hard against misogyny and sexism. I cannot do it for women like Landreiu and Lincoln. They will have to find a way to defend themselves. As for me I’ll keep defending the women who have the courage to stand up for their constituents rather them selling them down the river.

Who cares? Why are you putting Landrieu on trial here when we’re talking about Beck’s insult? There’s no “yes-but” involved here. I’m sure some women who have been brutalized, raped, or simply sexually degraded have been less than perfect people. Does that matter when you’re speaking out against their degradation?

When it happens to you (as it must have and will in the future, because it happens to us all), I promise not to dig in your past and come up with everything bad you’ve ever done to excuse it or divert attention from it. I expect the same courtesy. And I’ll extend it to all women everywhere.

As a woman I dislike rude terms refering to us. However,which is worse,Landreius’ actions or Becks words? Which will create more literal damage?

I just say a commentary where Michelle Malkin had this to say…

“I would not use — and did not use — that kind of rhetoric in my criticism of Landrieu. Having been called a whore, prostitute and far more degrading sexual epithets by countless times by liberals who never have to apologize, I’ll say this: Women in politics deserve to be treated the same as men. Call them sellouts, corruptocrats, bribe-takers, and backroom wheeler-dealers — but leave the streetwalker analogies at the Bunny Ranch where they belong.

And lefty concern trolls, spare me all the over-the-top outrage about Rush and Beck. Their jabs at Landrieu are nothing compared to the unending attacks on Sarah Palin.”

I think that sums it up perfectly!

Yttik, many good points. I see it the same way using the word prostitute/hooker/ho is a double insult.
but don’t agree with prostitutes work for a living. there is an increasing population of international and domestic population of sex trafficked girls, lured under false claims and not able to get out. look at the rescue organizations GEMS in NY and Courtney house in VA. I would not describe this as work for a living.
