was there a jury result being complained about?

Here is the post:

why isn't calling someone a "pussy" sexist ?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by MerryBlooms (a host of the General Discussion forum).
There are posts all over the place calling Cheney a "pussy", curious why this isn't considered sexist on DU ?

Or can sexism be allowed so long as enough people agree that "dick vagina", is a humorous enough parody for "go fuck yourself" Cheney ?

Seems it would be within the bounds as your scenario?
