idun Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 And political correctness would have gone mad if he had called her a stupid person. She is a woman.There is nothing wrong with 'stupid' man, woman, boy or girl.And as I have said on another thread, I am quite imperfect and sometimes call my self a stupid woman...... should I be calling myself a stupid person.........???[:-))] that would be 'stupid'.

BritinBretagne Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 [quote user="You can call me Betty or Queenie if you prefer"]Oh goody. Looks like the gloves are off and any pretence we've moved on in the 21st century and sexist remarks are a thing of the past has now been dispensed with.[/quote]Why are the mis-heard words, stupid woman, considered to be anything other than an observation? Stupid people seems to be acceptable and I’m sure that stupid man would be too, what makes the option with woman in it sexist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YCCMB Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 @BritinBretagne...if you'd read my post, and the subsequent one where I clarified it, my objection was to nomoss' use of the word "harridan". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
