i would post neither.....both have cultural baggage, it's just sexism is so normalized in this culture! why else does prodigy have a song called 'smack my bitch up.' And with the plight all those women and young girls in Texas you think that one is more trivial than the other? And besides marriage used to be little more than trading ownership from father to the husband. Why does one term make you uncomfortable, but the other not?
It's pretty pathetic that with such a flawed politician, that the best they could come up with was 'bitch.'

and than came the sexism...
quick question, would you post a similar poster of obama but with 'nigger' underneath the portrait?
quick answer: no. would you? do you think the two words are equal or does one have a bit more cultural baggage?
