I don't even think calling someone a bitch is that bad I mean the N word is unacceptable but all public figures are targets of abuse, I feel like she pulls the victim card so much. Nobody else is complaining.

A specialist police team set up to investigate crimes against MPs has dealt with 102 complaints in its first year of operation. The Metropolitan police’s parliamentary liaison and investigations team, set up in August 2016 after the murder of the Labour MP Jo Cox, has dealt with 71 complaints of “malicious communication”, which includes abusive messages or letters, 15 thefts and seven allegations of criminal damage. There were five reports of harassment and four of racially aggravated harassment between August 2016 and 20 July 2017. The figures were met with concern from MPs, many of whom have spoken out about abuse in recent months. https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-in-first-year

^^ Fair enough if it's threatening violence, why isn't she talking about that? To highlight the comment '***** bitch' is what I don't understand.

(also "bitch" is one of the most casually misogynistic terms out there and it doesn't surprise me at all that you don't see a problem with using it)

I don't like Abbot on a personal level. The company I used to work for had a lot of dealings with her and she's really not a nice force to reckon with. She had, at least back then, a reputation for being tough and ruthless, so when the media and popular opinion broke her, there was nobody more surprised than me. If someone can break this tough cookie, they can break anyone.
My personal dislike for her is by the by. Diana Abbot has got some pretty hefty achievements behind her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Abbott

No thanks.
I use it, woman I know use it, everyone uses it. So frankly I don't feel guilty. Have you ever used it in your life? Most definitely. |

The fact that people are more outraged by her saying it then the fact that it's something that's thrown in her face every day is both depressing and unsurprising.

It's only a word. It can do absolutely no harm whatsoever. It only offends people who want to be offended.
Grownups should be able to listen to any word that's ever been invented. They don't make grownups like they used to. However, this word is illegal, if I said it, I'd be arrested. So I expect she'll be arrested too, right? Last edited by Alf; 14-09-2017 at 04:10 PM. |

And like Dezzy said, you can't show disgust at her use of the term and then let slide those who have used the term against her. Last edited by Ashley.; 14-09-2017 at 04:12 PM. |

She's not calling anyone else it though to be derogatory she's describing what she has to deal with on (probably) a daily basis.

We all have to deal with things on a daily basis, it's called life. Only some want us all to feel sorry for them and give them sympathy, and some just get on with it.
