Hating her politics and actions is fine. Using sexist epithets isnt. We all know that in the last couple of years that the use of these words has become frowned upon. If you wanted to criticize Trumps surgeon general would anyone call him the N word? It also makes the user of these buzzwords look like a bigot.

Even Colibri called him out for using misogynistic language. So its not like I am randomly calling him out.
She seems just as stupid as any man ever born. QFT.
I nominate you to be the official Censor Bitch of the Pit.
Rather appropriate that someone like that should be the mayor during a pandemic, since in The Stand all the evil people swarmed to Vegas.
Nomination accepted. Get your bribes ready unless you want to be banned.
That mayor is so ignorant that it is hard to watch more than three straight minutes of her ridiculous babble without saying “Fuck You!” to the computer screen. She is obviously just a brainless figure head… no better than a Tammany Boss (or a corrupt Mob Boss) from back in the day. Not one word of her opinion contains value… not one point that she tries to swing us back to has merit.
I trust her opinion about as much as I would trust Sam ‘Ace’ Rothstein, and if you want to read between the lines to say that I am implying that she wants thousands of additional people to die just so she can appease her “Fuck You, Pay Me” Mob boss masters, well that’s just fine.
Siam Sam did use ugly words, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t realistic. I’m female, Democratic, fairly liberal, and I agreed with him. It’s kind of like the old statement "just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you."
That’s easy enough. Mandatory dress code of 8’ wide hoopskirts.
OK maybe I overreacted. Hijack over and please everyone back to attacking the mayor.
I’m not wishing for that; that said that’s mayor’s only skill set might be to walk vicious small dogs down the street and blame property owners when it bites someone or poops.
Gendering insults is not necessarily a sign of misogyny. We tend to use different words to refer to different genders sometimes. When you call someone a dick, that’s a male 99% of the time. When you call someone an asshole - sometimes women get that, but I’m guessing 95% men. But when you’re looking to refer to a woman in an insulting way, you may use bitch or cunt in the same manner. It doesn’t mean that calling someone a dick or an asshole is misandry, even though 95%+ of those cases are used against men, nor does it constitute misogyny to use bitch or cunt.
Of course those things can be used to indicate misogynistic thoughts, but it’s not inherent in gendering your insults. You can definitely use typically female deragatory words when talking about women and typically male deragotry words when talking about men without it being the result of sexism.
Can we all agree on a gender-free insult?
I prefer the term “asshole.”
Sure, hoopskirts - but that only works if the men have to wear them, too, along with the women. And anyone of indeterminate/fluid/other gender.
I propose a new term which can be used for any incompetent and/or insane politician in office: trump. In this case, even though she’s listed as an Independent, we can say, “Mayor Carolyn Goodman is such a trump!”
The head of the hotel and casino workers’ union said they’re more than willing to get back to work, but they aren’t test subjects.
Can we use the same rationale to justify using race-specific epithets? Religion-specific epithets?
Is calling Mitch McGollum a prick being sexist? Can we call her a stupid cocksucker?
Are we 14? Cocksucker offends women and gays.
