He has no reason to care if he ' s gonna be the president . He ' s working hard now to get rid of Obama ' s 8 years of work . <| sep |> My immediate counterpoint to that would be HomosexualityUnless you also thing that is an upbringingenvironment thing . <| sep |> For those who don ' t know , David Suzuki , who lives in my city , is a hypocrite and a complete asshole . His carbon foot print , even when you subtract his travel as a celebrity , is maaaaassive . <| sep |> You can ' t argue that these comments are bad and use misogynistic language , but also argue that they aren ' t misogynistic attacks because they are responses to her crossing the floor . There are many ways to post angrily online about floor crossing that don ' t use this language and don ' t issue threats , and if people aren ' t choosing to do that , they are being misogynistic . Using misogynistic language in order to insult is a clear example of misogyny . Even if the comments potentially don ' t reflect deeply held misogyny among those posting them , they still show that those people think saying such things is acceptable , indicating that misogyny is still commonplace . Even if they ' re deliberately posting them to be inflammatory , my assertion stands , they think it is acceptable to be inflammatory . Additionally , such comments perpetuate misogynistic sentiments among those who do hold them . And saying that this sort of thing is inevitable , as I think you are implying , concedes that it is an acceptable practice . Just because something is common does not mean it ought to be accepted . Sorry to trot out a tired analogy , but would you be saying it ' s not racist it ' s just people being offensive so don ' t worry about it if a black MLA was regularly harassed with racist language ?
