Trump, his allies, and his kin are guilty of degrading the language of government and politics to a hitherto unplumbed low. His command of English is so weak and so corrupted by insult (loser, joke, sick, animal, ugly, rapists) that there are no words vulgar enough to describe it.īee has been strong-armed into apologizing for a rhetorical flourish of which Chaucer would have been proud. It is Trump who has lowered the tone of public discourse in America, not Bee. It recalls Chaucer’s use of the word, which charms through juxtaposition: Ivanka is a crude villain in dainty designer clothing who panders to a father who boasts of grabbing women “by the pussy.” But for Bee, who is a woman, using a traditionally misogynist insult to rail against the most prominent traitor of women’s interests in the United States seems so apt as to be downright elegant. To suggest that “cunt” be removed from every English-speaking person’s lexicon would be tyrannical. Why would Trump presume to tell a woman what she is and isn’t allowed to say about her own group-blonde rich white ladies? Which leads us to the most obvious aspect of l’Affaire Bee, one that the pearl-clutchers seem to be overlooking: What is the point of having the most offensive word in English if you can’t use it? Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show? A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!- Donald J. ![]() This is why Donald Trump’s objection to Bee’s language not only smacks of hypocrisy but also makes no sense. But while an American man who calls a woman a “cunt” in anger or mockery is drawing upon a tradition of misogyny, a woman calling another woman a cunt is simply summoning the strongest language she can think of.
