It also incentivizes bad behavior as long as one can claim their bad behavior isn't as bad as the other side, doesn't it?

I mean, if it's really, really bad for one guy to call a woman a s*** lots of times, then it must be okay for some other guy to call a woman a c*** just a few times, right?

While both s*** and c*** are demeaning, the one is okay because it's not as bad as the other one?

This is not a wise argument because you are condoning the behavior that is "less evil", even though the "less evil" behavior is just as disgusting and demeaning.

Wrong is wrong. Being less wrong is still wrong. It may not be as wrong, but it is still wrong.

You are correct Nathan, wrong is wrong. I'm thinking that the use of the C**** word was done on HBO that you are referring to? There are different content standards for paid channel networks and our free public airways. The FCC is responsible for keeping our public airways free of these kind of inappropriate, hate filled remarks. The fact that Limbaugh has gotten away with this for so long when others have been pulled off the public airways for these same type of offenses really stinks as far as I am concerned. Hopefully the FCC will take a serious review of his repeated offenses, not just regarding Sandra Fluke (which did go on for 3 days).

Snippet from CNN below:
Ironically, the misogyny Rush Limbaugh spewed for three days over Sandra Fluke was not much worse than his regular broadcast of sexist, racist and homophobic hate speech:

-- Female Cabinet members are "Sex-retaries."
-- "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."
-- The National Organization for Women is "a bunch of wh*res to liberalism."
-- [Said to an African-American female caller]: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."
These are just a few samples from the arsenal of degrading language Limbaugh deploys on women, people of color, lesbians and gays, immigrants, the disabled, the elderly, Muslims, Jews, veterans, environmentalists and so forth.
