Speaking of Ann Coulter, she called both Nikki Haley and Lindsay Graham bimbos. Is it okay if a woman calls another woman a bimbo?
"Gibson asked her if he thought by the GOP selecting Governor Haley to deliver the party's response, it was an attempt to ding Donald Trump, to which she responded "Well, I think she's a bimbo, and..." where Gibson then interrupted Coulter, advising that might not be an apropos description of the governor.
Coulter went on to question his calling her out for the comment, saying "that describes a not very bright female...and is a woman that was accidentally elected, because she's pretty and isn't very bright, can we say that?"
She also said "Lindsey Graham: Also a bimbo."

Never considered Ann Coulter a progressive champion of women's rights like some of the fine liberal gentlemen here. Not sure why anyone who proclaims to be progressive would consider Ann Coulter the standard bearer.
I was just wondering if it was okay if a woman called another woman a bimbo. Apparently not.
So in your world is it ever okay for a woman (or a man) to be described as a bimbo?
I don't think so because I think we are beyond thinking a woman needs to be prude. We use a woman's sexuality as a negative when we don't with men.
If one uses a woman's legal and personal choice on sexuality to demean her, I honestly don't believe that person actually cares about protecting LGBTQ rights or gender rights beyond what that person thinks will get them brownie points. Like the the council woman In Minnesota who was the typical white savior promoting Defund the Police now complaining about how criminals have free reign and there not being enough cops as soon as she was mugged.
So with someone like Boebert who has so many actually relevant deficiencies that pertain to her ability to govern, why do liberals go directly to her sexual choices with her boyfriend? Who cares? If she were genuine about her desire to serve her district but still engaged in that sexual behavior, would she be less effective as a leader? Of course not. She is a con woman, and she would remain so even if she were a prude.
Since liberals are big on blind spots, it's not wrong to consider whether you yourself may have a blind spot.
