The RW has a new nickname for Elizabeth Warren.

[Funtatlaguy]

Apparently Pocahontas has flamed out, so I’ve noticed the right wing talking heads trying out a new one.
It’s Schoolmarm.
One guy said:”She’s like your oldest, ugliest teacher that nobody liked”.
This was on some stupid Fox News show in a waiting room. I got up and changed the channel to ESPN while muttering out loud”how can people watch that garbage”. Nobody said anything to me.

1. RW has their heads in the 1880s

back when people had schoolmarms.

In the last 70 years, we've had school teachers...not schoolmarms.

[Funtatlaguy]

3. I wondered about that too. Probably using it

Because schoolmarm has an older connotation than school teacher.

[spooky3]

15. And, being a research professor at a top university is

hardly parallel to “school marm.”

Of course, we could come up with a similar epithet for Alan Dershowitz...

[BeyondGeography]

2. That should help with women voters

[Funtatlaguy]

4. If 53% of white women vote for Trump again

In 2020 like they did in 2016, I will be stunned (no matter who the Dem nominee is).

[BeyondGeography]

12. Me too

A lot of women just want him gone. Different dynamic than ‘16.

[OKNancy]

5. Warren is very attractive. I don't know how someone could call her ugly.

I've heard that too, but those people are poopheads.

[Funtatlaguy]

7. No they are worse than that. Filth.

[OKNancy]

8. I wrote something a lot stronger..lol

But I didn't want to offend dicks

[katmondoo]

20. She is a very attractive woman to say otherwise is to show stupidity

[Blue_true]

31. That is what mysogonists do, make everything about looks.

You should have read how they said Hillary looked and smelled (yep, you read it right, a lot of the clowns went there) in 2016. When they are afraid of a woman, they describe her in the worst terms that they can think of.

Ignore them. We need to focus on what we need to do to end Trump's presidency via voting.

[forgotmylogin]

22. America can use a tough pioneer schoolmarm

Just cause trumphead is a C student doesn’t mean teachers are bad!

[peggysue2]

6. Don't take the bait

Let them rant on about any woman as ugly, horse-face, old and see how women in general react at the ballot box.

It won't be pretty! Everyone has the Trumpster's number at this point. Other Republicans trot along at their own peril.

[Blue_true]

32. I agree.

All my career I have seen men talk about a woman's looks, or about who she may have slept with to get ahead. All the men that did that were losers and time proved them to be losers.

[jcgoldie]

9. Its called Misogyny

Smart woman with power is the ultimate threat. Attack her looks and say shes too bossy.

[spooky3]

14. Exactly. And, it's totally false. Ask to see her Harvard Law School teaching

ratings. Students love her. And aside from the misogyny of evaluating women of all ages based on their looks, I’d say Trump presents a glass house for those stone throwers.

[mercuryblues]

27. Throw in a shrill.

cackle, and make fun of the way she dresses. Their only defense against Democratic women running for office.

[Blue_true]

33. Bingo. nt

[theaocp]

10. How do these guys talk at all?

What with MF45's dick and balls in their mouths constantly?

[Funtatlaguy]

13. The Fox News viewer loves sexism and bigotry

[rurallib]

11. Those were the teachers many of us loved the most

made us work up to our potentials - except for the one asshole bully in class.

[bigtree]

16. how does this shit spread?

...best left where you find it.

[mcar]

17. They are Hillary-ing here

Remember how they said she reminded them of their ex wives?

[Mr.Bill]

18. Although I'm no youngster myself, she's older than me and

I find her to be quite attractive, both physically and intellectually.

[zackymilly]

19. Can we not bring repug nicknames for our candidates to this site? n/t

[Funtatlaguy]

21. Just giving it out as a warning.

Generally whatever is said on Fox, Trump uses.
They try shit out and see what sticks with their deplorable base.

[PandoraAwakened]

24. Lean into the trope, embrace it, don't hide or run away

For example, see my comment below.

[PandoraAwakened]

23. Oh, would that my kids' schools were filled with schoolmarms!

It is the uneducated public that has gotten us to this place of despair.

Am definitely voting for Warren now that I know that even a brain-dead Rethug recognizes what a smart woman she is!

[Blue_true]

34. My best teachers in school were the older ones.

They had seen it all and knew how to reach each student.

[myohmy2]

25. schoolmarm...

...is not a bad place to be if you're an authoritative woman...

...IMO, it's a positive way a commanding woman can show strength...

...think about it, if a woman acts too masculine she's always accused of being unwoman-like, too manly...if she doesn't, then she's accused of being weak...

...but if she stands erect with a commanding 'schoolmarm' presence and attitude, an attitude in which there's zero tolerance for discourse or disruption, she becomes the matriarch all must follow...I had several teachers with that kind of matriarchal presence...you dare not cross them...

...look at it this way, could Hillary have gotten away with saying, "..just grab 'em by the balls."?

...I think Elizabeth should develop that strong 'schoolmarm' persona, not shy away from it...

...

[applegrove]

26. She an energetic and fun public speaker. Let them label her a schoolmarm to

their base. She will blow their minds with facts and policy and how she cares.

[bronxiteforever]

29. +1 yes she will!

[flamingdem]

28. Ain't going to stick

Well maybe "Harvard Professor schoolmarm" lol

[Blue_true]

30. If I walk into a waiting room that has Fox on, I am walking out and never coming back. nt

[Skittles]

35. I ask them to change the channel

[Tipperary]

36. Cool story, bro.
