I figured, since they invoked Michelle Obama, they ought to start with every individual who called her “Mooooochelle”, insisted she’s actually a man, or called her a hooker, whore, or some variation thereof.
As I pointed out earlier, given how many of those comments exist from such a large number of people, they won’t have time for literally anything else for a while.
Hope they like caffeine!
Nah, I’d give up while I was behind if I were you. Lobohan’s comment to which you replied wasn’t isolated:
So much as you may have missed the point, the point was whether or not Melania had accomplished more than Helena, not whether or not Melania had accomplished more than most first ladies. Maybe you weren’t strawmanning, maybe you just didn’t understand what was going on. Shrug.
And thus the gutless plagiarist shows himself to be sexist as well. Not surprising in the least.
By the way, what Bow Wow said was wrong and I denounce it. As have plenty of other liberals and feminists.
I’m sure he didn’t mean for his statement to be taken literally or seriously. A spokesperson will be out shortly to clarify the real meaning with air quotes and it’ll be all better.
I thought he was the guy from Sha Na Na. No?
I, too, denounce misogyny in all its forms. If I didn’t, I might say that this is a pointless argument, as Melania Trump isn’t eligible for sex work anyway due to a non-compete agreement with her former employer. Well, sorry to disappoint the OP, but you won’t read anything in such poor taste on this forum.
I didn’t get a harrumph outta that guy!

Count me as another who has no idea who this “Bow Wow” is. I seem to remember some '80s group named Bow Wow Wow, but I take it from the missing extra “Wow” that we’re talking about someone else here.
Oh, and I support Mr. Wow’s First Amendment right to say idiotic things, even if I don’t happen to agree with his viewpoint.
I heard it’s best not to attack their disillusions. They might turn violent.
I wouldn’t worry about violence. These college freshmen tend to be a bit pale and stringy from living on Skittles and Dr. Pepper, nursing their sniffles while hunched over their alt-right hate fora and manufacturing OUTRAEG!!! on the SDMB while the actual feminists are busy digging their cars out of 4 feet of drifted snow so they can get to work.
Oh, and Bow Wow’s as big of an asswipe as Trump. Can’t get fairer than that, right?
I actually did react to this tweet sometime yesterday. (Can’t remember where.) Something along the lines of “Is there any context to this tweet that would cause it to make sense, or is it just a random collection of words about blacks and violence?”
What I’m saying is that a lot of stuff happens every day, and nobody can be cognizant of all of it. Snoop Dogg was a BFD back in the 1990s, IIRC, but most of us ignore onetime celebs with ‘failing careers and all.’ And who the fuck knows or cares who ‘Bow Wow’ is?
So IMHO, the OP summarizes to: "Where is the liberal outrage over [event that probably few people paid enough attention to, to know that something possibly outrage-inducing had happened]?
This is a bit of a recurring theme from the right. Not quite the same as nutpicking, but not far from that sort of territory.
But just for shits and giggles, where’s the conservative outrage over Bow Wow? Did it even get much play on the right, other than Dolt 45’s incomprehensible tweet? Is The Corner going wild about it? How about Redstate?
You do realize this happened just about every single day for the past 8 years, right? I would like to see proof that you were outraged every single time, else you’re sad, pathetic, sanctimonious hypocrite.
OP you got me, I now see the hypocrisy of the left and I’m changing my voter registration as we speak. I feel freer already, free from the burden of having to pretend to be outraged by misogyny on the right, no longer will I need to control my own misogynistic impulses. I can’t wait until my RNC ID card comes in the mail so I can start manhandling women’s vaginas without their consent. Oh, what a time this is going to be! Thank God the shackles of political correctness have been removed!
Can you be a bit less confrontational, Princhester? Debillw3 made an argument about the status and requirements of being “First Lady”, which failed to address the side argument regarding the relative ‘lady-likeness’ of Melania Trump as compared to SDMB username Helena330. However, Debillw3’s reply was a perfectly valid continuation of that poster’s argument to the OP, and far more germane to the thread as a whole than the side argument.
I’d say you’re both correct, just about two completely different points of contention.
I’ll guess that most feminists, or feminist groups aren’t particularly supportive of gold diggers.
… or honey traps.
A “christian conservative” who has no problem making money by posing for immodest photographs and immorally cohabiting with a man. A strict interpretation of the Bible would argue that Trump’s prior marriages render her current relationship with Trump as nothing more than fornication and prostitution. There is nothing remarkable about being a gold-digging trophy wife or being willing to betray other women for personal gain. And while Bow Wow’s comments are very crude, they are remarkably honest as to her character.
Another thread from a conservative digging up some obscure incident most of us hadn’t even heard about and claiming it proves that liberals are all hypocrites, only to have the basis for the claim shot down in flames.
Right now the current President and Republicans in both houses of Congress spew bigoted nonsense on a regular basis, and spent considerable time making vile remarks about Obama and his family. If you have to dig so deep your best example is an obscure rapper whose best years were when he was prepubescent - in an incident that, as it turns out, WAS widely condemned by liberals - I think it speaks volumes about your side of the argument.
If you want like-for-like, though, fine: I condemn Bow Wow’s remarks as crude, misogynist and horrible. Now you get to condemn Ted Nugent for everything he’s said that was similarly crude, misogynist and horrible. It might take you a year or two to get through the list, admittedly.
Wiki confirms yes. It does not confirm Snoop Dog is his uncle.
Wiki also says the tweet that got ckalli1998 worked up was deleted in less than 24 hours.
It could be liberals and feminists aren’t all outraged by this because we don’t follow Bow Wow and don’t care what his opinion is.
I suppose if you’re actively looking for things to get worked up over you can scroll through the twitter feeds of has been rappers. I think ckalli1998 needs better hobbies.
Right-wing pussy bursts into tears when some nobody says something stupid on Twitter.
You lot are more sensitive than a bunch of radical Islamists.
I wonder if this Bow Wow fool wants to grab her by the pussy?
Our Kellyanne Conway wannabe needs its nose rubbed in its own shit.
Strangely, even evangelicals were not disturbed by the Trumps’ past behavior.
