Which is why the same behaviour can be seen differently depending on who's the target (e. g. calling someone “monkey” doesn't have the same meaning if the person is white or black). calling a woman "little piggy" is just as bad as saying, don't call her "little piggy", shes a woman! Trump on the other hand just calls people mean things for the same reason regardless if they are women or men.
No, it’s not.

I've never liked McConnell. The only republican politician whom I disliked more was Boehner.

Never forget
(Didn't he comment because he owns the Miss Universe beauty contest?)

It would be like if I made a slightly unflattering comment towards one of the other posters here and they would write long posts trying to prove how terrible I am and spend pages upon pages holding a grudge. One person looks particularly stupid in that situation. Agreed! Oh look, it's the guy who decided to compile every minor slight that anyone directed towards him over the previous few months and write long diatribes about how wrong they are. How cute. No, it's the guy that you just tried to take a not-so-subtle and childish jab at for no reason (again). Please move on.
Incidentally, I was actually referencing an entirely different thin-skinned poster: from the BW forums, a guy who took offense to one comment or other I made and started posting lots of topics against me in a manner not unlike Trump's Twitter war.
But I offer you thanks for proving my point.

I honestly am very curious to see how McConnell leads his party in the next Congress once Clinton is elected president, whether he keeps his majority or not. I wonder if the GOP will attempt to be as obstructionist or re-think its strategy in light of how its base is partially rebelling against its leadership. I'm not expecting major changes, but it'll still be interesting to see how things proceed post-Trump's candidacy.

It's truly a nasty, inexcusable way to treat women.
Machado took a different tone when asked about Melania Trump, who, like Machado, was a model and immigrant. Trump was born in Slovenia.
“I think I speak more English than her,” Machado, a Venezuela native, said. “I don’t see anything about this girl. She’s a doll. She’s a decoration. That is how I see her.”

Maybe biology]major thinks a man hitting a woman is equally as bad as a woman hitting a man. Or a parent insulting their child is as bad as a child insulting their parents.
Anyhow, when Trump calls someone low energy he is implying they are like a girl, so it is also plays into sexism. The modern GOP is a good case study for unresolved masculinity issues, though it is a bit sad others have to suffer for it.

Yes it is, I also wouldn't vote for her either. I think the general rule of thumb is to keep reality TV stars away from public offices

And we're back to GGTemplar's "When I burn a cross on the lawn of a black family you can't infer anything from that because you don't know for sure that I don't also burn crosses on the lawns of white families so who can really say and anyway you're only saying it's racist because they're black so you're distinguishing between blacks and whites so really you're the real racist here, not me!" argument.
It didn't work then and it doesn't work now.
Someone thinking that men and women or black people and white people or whatever else are different is not intrinsically sexist, racist or anything else. There is again, as always, historical context. Insulting a woman's worth based upon her appearance is reducing her to an object whose only value is her physical appearance, something which ties into the entire history of human sexism pretty neatly. To give a race equivalent, it'd be like dismissing Obama saying "I wouldn't pay shit to buy Obama at the market, man looks like he's never done a day's work in his life, he wouldn't last two hours in the plantation".
Different groups are different and have different historical contexts. You can't keep saying something sexist and then whenever it's pointed out leap to "you think women are different so really you're sexist and I'm not because it'd be fine if I said that to a man". It just doesn't work that way.

Roy Moore, Alabama Chief Justice, Suspended Over Gay Marriage Order
The chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy S. Moore, was suspended on Friday for the remainder of his term in office for ordering the state’s probate judges to defy federal court orders on same-sex marriage.
The suspension was imposed by the state’s Court of the Judiciary, a nine-member body made up of selected judges, lawyers and others. While the court did not remove Chief Justice Moore from the bench entirely, as it did in 2003 after he defied orders to remove a giant monument of the Ten Commandments from the state judicial building, it effectively ended his career as a Supreme Court justice. His term ends in 2019, and Chief Justice Moore, 69, will be barred by law from running again at that time because of his age.
The court was unanimous in its judgment, the decision said, because of both “his disregard for binding federal law,” exhibited in a January order to the state’s 68 probate judges to refuse marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and “his history with this court.”
No one expects Chief Justice Moore, a major figure in the culture wars since before he entered statewide office, to depart quietly from the political scene. In the years after his first removal, he ran for governor twice, though he finished far behind in the Republican primaries. He considered running for president in 2012 but decided instead to run, again, for chief justice. His victory without a runoff in the 2012 Republican primary rattled the state’s political establishment, and many high-profile Republicans openly supported the Democrat in the general election. He won with a slim majority.

Some of you right wingers seem to insist that you can say whatever you like and then whenever anyone points out the obvious historical context like "women weren't valued for their humanity or contributions to society but rather for their appearance" or "black people were described as subhuman apes to justify slavery" y'all go "oh, I never knew that, you see I'm actually new to earth and nobody filled me in on the backstory".

Some of you right wingers seem to insist that you can say whatever you like and then whenever anyone points out the obvious historical context like "women weren't valued for their humanity or contributions to society but rather for their appearance" or "black people were described as subhuman apes to justify slavery" y'all go "oh, I never knew that, you see I'm actually new to earth and nobody filled me in on the backstory".
Not only that, but many seem to hold the belief that if someone behaves like an asshole to everyone, that person's specific behavior towards women cannot be labeled "sexist". Yet it's perfectly possible to be an asshole to men and women alike but to nevertheless insert sexist elements in one's treatment of women, as Trump regularly does (and that is an understatement). As Nyxisto said, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
