Samantha (and Rosanne, unfortunately) are examples of why women will never be equal. If you look at who was NOT offended by Samantha's remark, it was: Liberal Men. They hooted with titillated glee. Catfight!! That was a woman degrading another woman for the excited approval of the men in her audience. It wasn't for the women.

Whenever women use uniquely female insults for each other (slamming looks or sexualizing the other), it is for male approval. I've done it myself, so I'm going to try to stop, but until all women stop it, we will never be equal. It's not tax-payer funded abortion and child care that will make us equal. It's ceasing this tendency to set one another on fire so men will applaud us for the blaze.

Wow...strong statement.

But really...are 'Liberal Men' offended by anything? Other than that which interferes with getting hign/laid?

Roseanne just said one phrase, “Planet of the apes” and conjoined it with the Muslim Brotherhood, in her description of Valerie Jarrett, no paragon of feminine charm, and for that a most harsh punishment is heaped upon her head.

Samantha Bee suffered no such calumny for her own vicious and obscene reference to a really very lovely and sensitive lady.

Men are more likely to use physical violence than women, so women have learned to cut to the bone with verbal insults. Women are much more vicious when using verbal insults than most women; even more so, when attacking other women.

At this point, its coded in your DNA.
