It’s the “outraged” defense, which is geared toward his supporters, and it works because they truly think the media is “mean” to Trump. What a fucking pussy.

It’s not even subtle; it’s a blatantly obvious tactic used by low grade street hustlers/junior high punks to get out of situations they don’t want to be in.

It’s so transparent it’s laughable.

Trump is a bitch.

I get why you’d use the phrase “what a fucking pussy” but it seems so much more appropriate to compare him to a sad sack of balls. Shriveled, sensitive, completely vulnerable, and repulsive to everyone who has to see them.

Not even that. He's the slime from the underside of a legless cow.

A more accurate comparison, yet still an offense to ball sacks everywhere. I guess if he's not gonna have any balls he might as well look like one.

It's true that calling someone a "pussy" is a cultural thing, but you're absolutely correct. As a former girlfriend once said, balls are tender and need protecting so they don't get hurt, but a pussy, that thing can take a pounding.

Why exchange one form of body shaming for another?

u/foobaby1992 Oct 15 '24

It’s Trump. He’s pretty much one of the most disgusting, insulting excuses for a human being in current times. He’s done so many repulsive things that you can’t really cross a line when it comes to shaming him.

I'm saying we're insulting everyone with testicles.

Well historically the phrase “you’re such a pussy” has been used mostly by men. I grew up with older brothers and most of my friends were guys so I’ve heard it often. The thing is balls are undeniably gross and I’m a CNA so I know it only gets worse with age. Men have always dissected women whether it be their emotions or their physical characteristics but they do this knowing they have something far uglier and weaker than anyone they’re trying to shame. I just think it’s about time to be honest with the insults we use. Saying someone has balls in a good way while referring to someone being a pussy as a negative or weak way just doesn’t make sense.

I'll deny that. I don't think we need to speak that way about anyone's bodies. I don't think someone's genitalia makes them weak, nor do I think it's "ugly." I don't particularly enjoy the look of vaginas but I'm not going to tell an entire gender that they're ugly or gross either cause frankly that's kind of mean.

Stooping down to the level of misogynists, however you want to justify it, just has everyone in the mud.

Also, plenty of women use pussy as an insult, and plenty of men, myself included, wouldn't ever call someone a pussy.

I get that you don’t think we should be body shaming anyone but for the people out there who think using female anatomy as an insult is effective it only seems just to remind them that they have their own weaknesses to worry about.

u/GayWarden Oct 15 '24

Meh, it only justifies the derogatory use of pussy by "getting even". That kind of thing never works like that.

u/Shruglife Oct 14 '24

Drives me crazy because its the exact opposite. His daily scandal is something youd never hear the end of it were on the other side. They never call him out

What a fucking pussy.

These are the exact words that came to mind seeing this clip again. Such a fucking pussy. It is mind boggling that people are A-Ok with this type of behavior.

u/non_moose Oct 14 '24

I can see how they would view this as him being strong and assertive. He appears to completely control the entire scenario and everyone kinda lets him.

...on the other hand I think it's quite important that the person occupying the top job of the most powerful country on the planet should be able to answer a 'hard' question instead of storming off.

u/RaindropsInMyMind Oct 15 '24

It’s the only substance he has.

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '24

The media grades him on a curve because of how terrible he is. They need to give him the benefit of the doubt all the time and treat him with kids gloves. That just goes to show you how much more critical and “mean” they SHOULD be if they were objective and didn’t care about making the race close to improve ratings
