NYMag: What it's like to be a female reporter covering Donald Trump

Let's stay on topic, here.

Sure!

 

Regarding the article and quote...why is "c**t" capitalized?

It's a quote in* a quote so it's something someone said, therefore capitalized.

 

I am not sure that is correct. "Bitch" which was also a quote in a quote was not capitalized. Unless, that was just a mistake.

I had to walk away for 12 hours before responding to this -

What makes me so frickin' angry is that these men have mothers, daughters, wives. Some of these people ARE WOMEN. WTF kind of bizarro world are we in that we are taking all these steps backward when it comes to how anyone other than white, christian men are viewed?

Trump's run has single handedly brought out all the deplorables (yes I said it) who now believe it's ok to express their prejudices because he's done it and literally rallied others to do so in public forums. I can't believe his daughter will stand next to him in public, and it's no wonder that Melania is rarely beside him.

Even if he doesn't win, he has set us back 40-50 years, and I think it's a far more dangerous time for the bigotry/misogyny/homophobic etc.

Well put.
