Trump calls a female reporter a "c**nt"

[EnglishPete]

At least he didn't call her fat.

Is there any evidence that Trump is sexist at all. People say that he is and that he treats women differently to the way he treats men. I really can't see that.

Perhaps people can give examples of where they think Trump has been sexist? Where he's been rude and insulting to a woman in a situation where he wouldn't be rude and insulting to a man

This guys a national disgrace. makes me sick to see him as a major party candidate.

Yes I know, its terrible. He alleged to have used a nasty profanity about someone behind their back. I'm sure that neither Hillary Clinton nor any other previous major party candidate ever did such a thing.

I'm sure he would have picked another insult.

As an aside although in the US c*nt is used as a specifically gendered insult against women its not used that way in the UK. In the UK its used to mean a person without redeeming qualities, especially one who is nasty or vicious in character. It is most commonly used about men rather than women.

Here is one example of its use in the 1996 film 'Trainspotting' of a man talking about another man using this term
