12. It's sick misogynistic bullying. Dipped in a thick coating of racism

in the case of Michelle Obama.

Deliberately misgendering anyone is sick bullshit. Especially calling a woman a "man" JUST BECAUSE she doesn't comport herself according to the name-callers fantasy of womanhood ... or (as for some in the case of Michelle), intentionally as in insult ... it's misogynistic bullying, period.

I agree that the being Black adds another dimension to it. But it is sick regardless.

It's almost like a large segment of America thinks bullying is okay.
