Yes, I know the term can be used by black people in an occasional tyrannical manner, but no one can deny its insult power.
Sometimes feminists use words like male-identified for women who always take the side of men or opposed the progress of women or who are critical bitches generally to every woman who makes progress against the many obstacles thrown up by misogyny that still bar the way of women.
However, the word bitches is too often used by men for what they see as a variety of female offenses -- everthing from denying them sex to daring to seek the highest office in the land. No, the word bitch just won't do.
May I suggest a simple short hand term for a woman who so hates everything Hillary Clinton represents. Hillary Clinton's threat does not lie merely the fact that she is a woman who acts to achieve power on her own behalf but that she actually has a chance more than any other woman of actually getting it.
Oh dear. ;-)
My suggestion for that shorthand word: Nancianne.
