Perfect way to end my "posting week," by pointing out that the *other* self-proclaimed "feminist" on this forum seems to *agree* with Judy characterizing another woman as a slut or prostitute *on the basis of her hairstyle*.
Look up the word "slattern." Note its synonyms: "slut" and "prostitute." Note definitions such as: "a pros- titute who attracts customers by walking the streets" and "a loose woman." This from the two "feminists" who suggested that me pointing out that IMO Sarah Palin is a very ordinary- looking woman and that the only reason anyone thinks otherwise is because of makeup was "misogyny" and "hatred of women." The two "feminists" seem to feel that *they* are able to refer to *another woman* as a "slattern" FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THAT THEY DON'T LIKE HER HAIRCUT. That's not "hatred of women." But pointing out that Sarah Palin has to wear a ton of makeup to look good on camera is. Go figure. Now, having "set the stage" for the meltdown that will follow today and the early part of next week, I shall again withdraw and allow the two unpersons to make my points for me. Have a nice "rest of Friday" folks...I'm off to Barcelona for the evening while they sit in their houses and plot their revenge. :-) :-) :-) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "raunchydog" <raunchy...@...> wrote: > > It's all about Judy....again.
