Bow Wow’s sexist Melania Trump insult probably doesn’t help Snoop Dogg in his feud with the president

Rapper Bow Wow took to Twitter to defend his friend and sometime collaborator Snoop Dogg in his public feud with President Donald Trump, but he drew in first lady Melania Trump and in a way that was derogatory, offensive and sexist.

He told the president he should shut his punk (expletive) up about Dogg. He then if said the president didn’t stop attacking Dogg, “we” would take an action that suggests turning the first lady into a prostitute.

His tweet crossed several important lines. First it implied a certain attitude among rich, powerful, arrogant and misogynist men. It is that women only exist to serve them and as their property — that these men are entitled to force women to do what they want, including forcing them to engage in prostitution.

In bringing up the prostitution idea, Bow Wow also intentionally, or not, made reference to false allegations that came up during Trump’s 2016 campaign. A blogger and the British tabloid Daily Mail alleged Melania had once worked as a escort. Both later retracted the allegations when facing legal action for libel.

I'll be 52 in a few months, but I can easily pass for younger to mid 40s since I have all my hair, it is still brown and don't have many wrinkles.

There are many ways to back up a friend without being a misogynistic dickhead.

I'm not seeing the controversy here. She's a fucking Goldigger wife. She sold her soul for money. That goes further than prostitution, Am I suppose to be shocked that someone pointed it out? Am I suppose to feel sorry for Melania?

They didn't insult all woman, Just Melania. Do I need to remind the rethuglican sympathizer here that tax payers have to pay millions just because she refuses to live in the White House? Or that she was an enabler to Donald trump? Or that she was a birther?

Drumpf probably would laugh and agree with the message.
