NYC to ban Bitch and Ho

[TexasDevilDog]

The New York City Council, which drew national headlines when it passed a symbolic citywide ban earlier this year on the use of the so-called n-word, has turned its linguistic (and legislative) lance toward a different slur: bitch.

The term is hateful and deeply sexist, said Councilwoman Darlene Mealy of Brooklyn, who has introduced a measure against the word, saying it creates “a paradigm of shame and indignity” for all women.
...
While the bill also bans the slang word “ho,”

Santa can't say Ho Ho Ho, any more. :(

They started with the "N" word and it won't stop until our freedom of speech is destroyed.

It will never work.

This was pretty funny though:

“We’d be grandfathered in, I would think,” said David Frei, who has been a host of the Westminster Kennel Club dog show in New York since 1990.

How can they POSSIBLY limit our speech like that? Granted I understand the reasoning behind it, because damn it that's fucking scary to think that this is happening in our life times? What exactly are we looking forward to? I can only hope that most of my brethren in their 20s stop this shit before it gets too far. :(

LOLz, "bitch" hasn't been sexist since the fifties!

Every married man will shed a tear if this were to pass.

And how are they going to change a mindset? What is the penalty?
