Why is it sexist to insult a woman? (generation, accuses, racist)

[dashrendar4454]

Apparently, according to democrats, insulting Hillary Clinton, or Alicia Machado, is point blank sexism. I think that is incorrect.

1. Donald J. Trump is a rude, inconsiderate jackass to all of his opponents and their followers, which includes plenty of men.

2. Acknowledging the truth of 1., it would be discriminatory of Trump to spare women his naturally repulsive nature. It could even be argued that the suggestion that women cannot handle insults, and that they should be treated with kid gloves compared to their male counterparts, is itself a sexist proposition.

Thoughts??

It's the imagined war on women.

The way I understand it is liberals have an identity hierarchy:

conservative<male<female<white<non-white<muslim etc

Or something like that but only liberals know what their identity hierarchy really is for any given situation.

It wasn't sexist. He hurls insults at people of box sexes and at people of different races. He is an equal opportunity insulter

The left accuses people who disagree with them as an 'ist', whether it's ageist, racist, sexist, etc. It's their way of shutting down conversation, through false accusations and shaming.

The right accuses people on the right of either being lazy and looking for handouts, or being free with everyone else's money.

Both sides are ridiculous.

Racist/sexist

The words that have defined a generation.

In some way neo-cons, progressives and libertarians do both.

because society and our culture says so. Same thing with it being "racist" for whites to criticize blacks meanwhile blacks can criticize whites with reckless abandon and they are just standing up for themselves.

Typical double standard. Next question please.

Women want equality until the negative aspects of equality appear. It's at that point they want to go back to being the protected fairer sex.

Simple. Many women are sexists.
