I doubt it. "Ho" as a perjorative for females is a recent movement, say within the last ten to fifteen years, to the best of my knowledge. Before that time among people who couldn't see fit to use "Madam," "Lady," or "Miss/Miz," "Bitch" was the preferred vulgarity.
Total Facepalm moment. I hoped Australia hadn't gotten this stupid yet. At least that "Kids Free 2B Kids" group know that this whole "ha ha ha" idea is a crock of shit.
That's right up there with using the term "womyn" instead of woman. Equal opportunity regardless of gender is great. This nitpicking bullshit isn't feminism; it's female separatism, a.k.a. feminazism.
I see you saw the same thing... I posted something on my Livejournal. I mean... come on! Im an American woman and I am far from offended from Santa saying Ho Ho Ho...
Well hey, if they make santa into a diabolical axe murderer who goes ha ha ha like in the old Tales from the Crypt movie I suppose we can give him a "nondenominational ethnic worker called Pedro Phyle who goes "Hee hee hee", then everyone's covered.
Hell, Im just curious if they complained about this during the Feminist movement x3
