It's really weird to describe a woman in politics with her sexual relations to other people. Can't think of any man that has been described that way. Smells like misogyny tbh.
Edit: Yikes at the downvotes. Guess I forgot there are mostly ex-reddit people here.
I personally didn't interpret "mushroom gobbler" as a homophobic slur. I thought OP was alluding to the fact that she has about as much lucidity as someone who's high on mushrooms.
I could be wrong though, I'm not American.
Yeah like they said it isn't homophobic to depict a woman as someone who sucks dicks, because that is a straight relationship, but it could be considered misogynistic to reduce her to her sexual acts or whatever.
Mushroom gobbler is a reference to a "mushroom tip," or the head of a penis.
Ah gotcha, cheers
Well it wouldn't be homophobic. But it alludes to her and Trump to having had an affair.
Ah right, I thought she was the Republican nutter who had a three way with a woman and her husband. Different Republican nutter.
Trump's horrible penis has been referred to as "like a weird mushroom" by those in a position to know.
You're right, let's be respectful to the person that disrespects everyone and everything else....
More a long the lines that fucking someone shouldn't be the cause of disrespect unless it's hypocritical. Who gives a shit if she's fucked trump, she's an insane shit bag at best and a literal Russian agent at worst and those are REAL causes of disrespect
Way to miss the point.
Yeah, there's accurate insulting things to call her that aren't put downs about fucking someone. That said, if she was railing against adultery, the hypocrisy would make it fair game to me tbh. This isn't a "don't stoop to their level" thing, it's a "this is just entirely unrelated to everything that makes her a terrible terrible human being" thing
Honestly Lemmy has terrible gender relations, not worse than some of the subreddits though
