"If it was a black man being insulted and threatened, guess the language they'd use." uh... racist language? So wait, if I get riled up about something for non-racist reasons, but then use racist language... I'm not racist? I get a pass? Don't confuse your argument. You're saying that her gender is not SUFFICIENT for why she's getting those threats. Fine. But don't make the case that her actions were sufficient alone; that her gender (or race) has nothing to do with it. That just defends anyone who wants to use racist or sexist language any time they get bent out of shape about something.

No, you're still a racist, you just weren't a premeditated racist. A person choosing the most obvious, vicious, and personal way to insult and hurt someone is still guilty of acting prejudiced. Just because they would have used a different way to attack a different person does not get them off the hook for what they actually did.
