    It’s about standing up when someone picks a fight with you. It’s not turtling or capitulating.

    It’s not throwing punches to escalate, it being aggressively defensive though. It we get into a tussle, you’re not coming away unscathed, you’re going to take an elbow to the chin.

    Sure it’s about trump. He’s the one attacking, who we have to defend against. I’m guessing you’re not a hockey player. Maybe the context doesn’t make sense to you.

    I have no idea what renaming anything would have to do with this concept

    I mean, it’s a Canadian sub talking about Canadian politicians. It may be different if we were talking about Aussie politics. I’ve been to Australia, lived in nz for a year, I’ve used the term with buddies pretty often.

    It is different when you’re speaking about a woman in power (awful woman in power) and take all her horrid aspects and boil them down to a demeaning misogynist term. There are a million different insults that can be thrust upon her. Why does it have to be one that means vagina. Whether it’s been appropriated or not by other cultures, here in Canada it is misogynistic and is interpreted so by nearly every woman here
