ALERTER'S COMMENTS
We don't seem to let bitch stand. Let's see how we do with bastard. It is a sexist word but I'm sure it will be allowed in this instance.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Mar 1, 2015, 05:21 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Bastard isn't sexist. It's parental-marital-status-ist, originally. I guess. But this is just some stupid fucking MRA-lite whining, and frankly deserves some sort of false-alert penalty if there were one.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: An opinion.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't have a problem with either word...... The definition of bastard is 1
archaicderogatory
a person born of parents not married to each other.
synonyms illegitimate child, child born out of wedlock; More
datedlove child, by-blow;
natural child,son,daughter
he had fathered a bastard
2.
informal
an unpleasant or despicable person.
"he lied to me, the bastard!"
I'm leaving this. Especially since it was directed at a DU'er
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Bastard is no where near the same comparison as bitch, a bitch is a female dog. A bastard is an illegitimate child born out of wedlock. I am sad you alerted on this and you should be sad too.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If you're sure it will be allowed, why do you waste our time alerting?
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: To alert on the word "bastard" is going too far, IMHO. There is nothing wrong with this post, for crissakes. Leave it alone.
