"childless woman" is such a 19th-century-ass insult. what else you got. do I render inferior tallow? do my cabbages grow pale and blemished? does the quality of my sock-darning bring shame upon my father's name?
the last one is a trick question, it is impossible to bring shame upon the name "Jean-Paul"
@VeryBadLlama this tickles me, because my name is Jean-Paul, and I was unaware of this feature until now.
@VeryBadLlama
I wonder if his first draft said "barren".
@VeryBadLlama I admit, my cooking is no better than bearable and I have been known to wear trousers

@VeryBadLlama

Republicans want to bring back the worst parts of the 19th century, not just the insults of a cockalorum funded by billionaire snollygosters.

Rare and Amusing Insults: Cockalorum, Snollygoster, and More

How dare you called me a ninnyhammer you pillock!

@VeryBadLlama do you stitch a bland, uninspiring sampler?

@VeryBadLlama @josh

How dare you darn your socks by the open window for all the boys to see.

@jeff @VeryBadLlama @josh MY SOCK DARNS BRING ALL THE BOYS TO THE YARD
AND THEY'RE LIKE, YOU STRUMPET OF YORE
@Soozcat @VeryBadLlama @josh I am sooooo glad I’m not the only odd ball. I totally heard that song too.
@jeff @Soozcat @VeryBadLlama This. This is what we came to see.
@VeryBadLlama
The insult thrown by men threatened by women as equals.
@VeryBadLlama This is a beautiful toot, 10/10 no notes.
@VeryBadLlama I've had convos w taxi drivers (old guys) who lament that 'young women today can't...' and proceed to solve the world's problems. So I like to toss in that young women today don't know how to lay out a body, in c19 this was normally done at home by the women. It kind of pulls them up short cos even they don't expect 'young women of today' to know that. Even their grandmothers likely didn't know it.
Anyway, you can probably riff on that.

@VeryBadLlama

What is interesting about that intended insult by Trump and Vance, is that it reveals how the GOP view people.

As objects of utility for them.

Children are just a product that women are expected to manufacture for the rich.

And do it without any help.

If a woman declines to live this way and chooses to live her life how she chooses, her value vanishes in the eyes of these bigots.

@Npars01 @VeryBadLlama

republicans are cruel racist creepy bigots

blast thou scurrilous strumpet, my breeches are absolutely sotted in thine spilled ale. I shall speak to the innkeep about this!
@VeryBadLlama “You render inferior tallow” is such a great insult. Kudos.
@VeryBadLlama
Couch-fucking guy says what now?
@MercG @VeryBadLlama Think he was angling for the title of Sofa King Ass i'Nine?
@VeryBadLlama She has the sloping brow and cranial bumpage of a career criminal!
[Uh, sir, phrenology was dismissed as quackery 160 years ago]
@VeryBadLlama If I ever manage to get a C&W band together again, I'm going all in on Stagecoach Tilters as a band name.
@VeryBadLlama It's right up there with calling everyone "Marxists" all the time. Profoundly weird.
@VeryBadLlama If we're going with epithets of that kidney, I'm partial to "jolly pirate wench with fierce feline sidekick" thx
@VeryBadLlama I always thought of the word harlotte to be such an old fashioned term.

@VeryBadLlama

When you say "19th-century-ass", which one do you mean?
🤪

Also, could "flapdoodle" come in handy here?

"Flapdoodle
A sexually incompetent man, who is either too young to have had sex or one who is too old to attempt it ("flapdoodle" also referred to nonsense or rubbish and ladyparts in the same time period)

Example:
<insert couch reference?>"

@arose62 @VeryBadLlama thank you for your contribution to this thread.🙏😌
@VeryBadLlama
The seams of your stockings are NOT straight as befits a lady, madam!

@VeryBadLlama

My needle work is clumsical and my piano forte unmusical. Oh my!

@VeryBadLlama Didn’t Ted Cruz go all the way back to the 13th century when he referenced witches?
@VeryBadLlama @ichbindabomb One shall not attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. Classifying this as a 19th-century-ass insult is too much honour for such a feckless moron.
@VeryBadLlama You sell low-grade copper.
@arclight @VeryBadLlama and treated my servant rudely!

@VeryBadLlama

I’m waiting for JD Vance to start calling our cats our “familiars” and start calling us witches.

@VeryBadLlama

Also, you fail to chasten your housemaid correctly, and hardly ever beat your carpets!

@VeryBadLlama "Inferior Tallow". Please watch your language. We have a code of conduct here and that's going too far.
@VeryBadLlama Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
@VeryBadLlama interesting that the original usage of the word “slut” was a woman who couldn’t manage to keep her house clean. It’s always fun to read older literature where a woman exclaims, “Just look at this place! I’m such a slut!”
@VeryBadLlama comeback suggestion: "oh I can make you childless as well"
@VeryBadLlama Can't forget the old Victorian term "barren."

@VeryBadLlama

As far as I know, nobody judged the work of dozens of women I have worked with and for based on their personal/family life. These christofascists are apparently following the Old Testament "go forth and multiply" quote in one of the most absurd myths in the entire collection.

And how presumptious can a man get claiming to know how a woman feels about her motherhood status?

@VeryBadLlama In 2024 you’re allowed to say sock-damning.

@VeryBadLlama why should I listen to someone who looks like going to pick the wrong fork for the main course?
