Why can't we call women halfwits?

I don't know. I lost my rationale, but I was on a roll, so I went with it. In this case, maybe it itched this time, because it's so obviously derived from her name, but halfwit and nitwit, etc., also just seem to be used against women more than men, politicians excepted.

Pogara -- I am so sorry for your loss. My sympathies to you and your sister.

I get itchy calling women names like halfwit and hugetit though.

Don't think of it as me calling a woman "Halfwit." Think of it as me calling a vapid performer that makes Dan Cortese look like a skilled thespian who's succeeded based on talent alone in comparison 'Halfwit."

I have no issue calling anyone a halfwit that I think is one, even less of one calling someone on my tv that. That said, I'll be watching the first episode of JLH's new show.

I am the last one at work. I had to leave about this time last night and was one of the first gone. tonight all alone. WAH.

Heh.

Actually despite laughing, I have no basis for criticizing her other than watching a handful of Po5s, years ago, and to be frank, she wasn't my main focus.

I've never noticed a gender bias on halfwit or nitwit, myself. And riffing on names for insults -- well, it's an ancient art, still in fine form.

The JLH show looks to me like a rip-off of Medium which I really like. Patricia Arquette has some bite as Alison DuBois.

Also, I irrationally hate JLH anyway.

Is everyone running home to catch the new season shows? I hope my DVR is catching everything it is supposed to tonight.

I cannot tell you how happy I am to be home tonight.
