Kristi Noem: “It never ends, but it’s so lazy, to make fun of women and how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that. If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that. But clearly they can’t. They pick something petty like that."

      “Misogynistic” is a word that gets overused these days…

      Making fun of the ICE lady isn’t inheritly misogynistic. Childish, for sure. But not everything is born out of “hate for women” just because its aimed at a woman.

      Maybe she’s just an asshole and is reaping the rewards of being so publicly.

      I mean, they are misogynistic if they’re pulling shit like this. Regardless of what she has done.

      They would’ve pulled that joke regardless of gender. Matt and Trey aren’t misogynistic and I’d bet my life on that. Moreover, and I’ll copy-paste my own answer from somewhere else:

      Aside from this episode, what often saddens me is the realization that remarkably many men and women are so psychologically damaged to the point that their body dysmorphia leads them to think that this Eraserhead/Chucky-like plastic surgery is more aesthetically pleasing than normal aging. Zoom into this Wikipedia profile picture of Kristi Noem and tell me she doesn’t look like a demon.

      In general I do not condone ad hominem attacks, but to be fair, considering the Gestapo shit going on in the USA, the carpet does match the drapes.

      It is entirely possible to hate on a particular person and not their entire gender.

      I particularly enjoyed they James Donald Bowman (or Vance as he prefers) as a little person, which neither felt misandristic nor disrespectful to little people.

      You know because James Donald Bowman is a mental midget with the IQ of a fencepost (ty Tom Waits) and not because of a general hate towards men (large or little) in general.

      Simple people like these right wing Nazi cunts don’t listen to reason. They do get triggered by childish things like this though. I hate using gay slurs to insult people, because it’s fucking normal to be gay. But Putin is so over the top anti-gay, that I can make an exception there for example.
