Nope. No one calls a man butch.

Stop trying to defend the indefensible, lefty.

The heck? Of course they do. You probably don't know any.

Not in this century. The word butch means a masculine looking woman at this point just like gay no longer means happy in any modern context.

Disagree. I think “butch” is used in two different contexts today:

(1). In the LGBT community, it is not a put down. The word may even be used to describe someone in a positive, favorable way.

(2). In the broader community, it is used against women (gay or straight) as a put down or to be offensive. Crockett was using it in this context.

^ that is correct

“ The hearing was derailed when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., responded to a question from Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, by saying, “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”

It was all down hill after that.

yes, but dont you also think that when you see women with huge fake eyelashes and usually long fingernails , from what culture does someone think that looks attractive??

Apparently American culture. Women of all races choose to wear those hideous eyelashes and long nails.

She implied MTG has a butch body. She didn’t call anybody butch.

DP. You do understand that once a president, you always retain the title "President"?

Former president. That is what you might be called in an article. You are not called president x to your face. You are called Mr X (or some day Ms X)

Emily Post confirms.

But the point is having a masculine appearance or mannerisms. Women who are straight can and have been called butch. It's not homophobic anymore than calling a man effeminate is homophobic. And men who are straight can and have been called effeminate.

The connotation that a butch woman is lesbian or an effeminate man is gay is very dated and no longer common usage.

So, while it may be considered offensive and insulting, it is not homophobic.

No you don’t, because when you’re not longer President there’s another President.

You misspelled “all.”

It would have been during daytime hours if a bunch of GOP committee members hadn’t been in court in New York kissing the ring.

DP. I don’t think Crockett was implying that MGT is a lesbian, so I wouldn’t go so far as to say she’s homophobic. But, she was clearly using the term as a put down - implying that there’s something wrong or unattractive about a masculine looking woman. It’s really not a word you’d expect to hear in a congressional hearing.

She wasn't going to stand by and be a doormat. MTG started with the invectives and the GOP sided with not enforcing the rules. Hence Crockett's response. It was meant to be provocative to make the point.

DP. Remarking on Crockett's eyelashes is hardly "invective." It was rude and unnecessary. But Crockett went way overboard in her response.

Don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing.

MTG went there first and got her ass handed to her. Now BBBBBB is going to follow her forever.

Yeah no. But if that's your belief, it's fine.

Look none of this was acceptable. It’s embarrassing. But AOC, if I saw the whole thing, was the one who tried to maintain most composure. “Baby girl, don’t even play”was just a little street coming out. Sometimes we can’t help it when we get mad. She really did try.

She really did and as she pointed out, MTG pulls some variation of this all the time. And to add to that, Comer doesn’t even appear to know the committee rules.

Republicans just want to destroy everything.

DP. MTG is awful. But the bolded is frankly hilarious, considering all of the things Democrats have done to damage this country.

Interesting. Like what exactly? Name two or three of these things.

Seriously?
- disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Not the withdrawing itself, but the chaotic and horribly planned way in which it was done.
- the disgraceful border. Enough said.
- lack of punishment for serious offenders.
- pushing through student debt forgiveness, i.e. requiring taxpayers to foot the bill for other people's degrees.

Oh, sorry - forgot you were only asking for two or three things.

So you have nothing? Sad.

Aww. No one's home to help you read, I see.

DP. So you'd be a-ok if a Republican called, say, Laphonza Butler "butch"? How about Becca Balint?
