My wife (a long-ago graduate of a Seven Sisters college) asked me about Steve Bannon, because she got an email with the following:

Seven Sisters Presidents Post Open Letter to Stephen Bannon

Presidents of seven historically women’s colleges, jointly referred to as the Seven Sisters, posted on Monday an open letter to Stephen Bannon, the former executive chairman of the Breitbart News Network and a recently appointed senior counselor to President-elect Donald J. Trump’s administration.

The letter makes reference to a comment Mr. Bannon made in a 2011 interview in which, the letter says, he “disparaged lesbians, feminists, and alumnae of the historic Seven Sisters Colleges” using a crude slang word for lesbians.

Once we actually listened to the interview excerpt, she realized how awful the purported "open letter" was. Bannon's remark was completely taken out of context. What Bannon had to say was all true, even the bit about "dykes from Seven Sisters colleges" hating women who are conservative.

The headline claims he calls women a "bunch of dykes" when in fact he said they "wouldn't be" a bunch of dykes.

That's like if he said "no!" and everyone jumped up yelling "did you hear that? He just said yes!"

“That, in fact, the women that would lead this country would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children. They wouldn’t be a bunch of dykes that came from the Seven Sisters schools up in New England. That drives the left insane and that’s why they hate these women.”

I’m 100% in agreement with that statement!!

using a derogatory term for lesbian women to refer to all women with liberal political beliefs.

Dykes on Bikes calls themselves Dykes. How derogatory could it be?

Dyke: A natural or artificial slope or wall to regulate water levels, called levee in American English. ditch, a water filled drainage trench. A regional term for a dry stone wall.

What’s the big deal?

can you call yourself a dyke then also get to complain when someone else calls you one?

What about the many organizations that include that term in their official name?

My Wife and I are having a bunch of dykes over for Thanksgiving. They call their male friends (not us) The Homos.

On an aside, for those FReepers like me who are very grammatical, is it:

1) A Bunch of Dykes
or
2) A Gaggle Of Carpet Munchers?

Awesome. We didn’t get the dyke vote and won’t in the future. So might as well call dyke a dyke.
