Your sexist language is offensive and as a father of a 6 year old girl, I hope nobody ever calls her a pussycat or bitch simply because she's a woman.

His language is so strong it will knock the socks off old ladies!
--Wanda Sabir, SF New Bayview Newspaper
He is sexist as all get out, in the way that is common for men of his generation and his radicalism, but he is refreshingly aware of that and working on it. It's just that the work isn't done and if that offends you to see a man in process and still using the 'b' word, look out.
