When Is It O.K. to Call a Woman a B----?

In January of 2007, Nancy Pelosi said that impeachment was "Off the Table" before the Democrats even took control of Congress.  Like many others here at Daily Kos, I was seething.  I said in a comment, "What a B----!"

Fortunately, someone corrected me rather gently and told me that it was sexist and demeaning to call any woman a "B----" even if their actions were utterly indefensible.  I could search through the comments and find out who corrected me, but the important thing is that she did – and was able to do so in a way that got through my think skull, too.  I now believe that it is inexcusable to call any women a "B----" for any reason.
