Putting women's faces on US Currency? President Obama wants it.
Here's my suggestion of a subject for the first bill, perhaps the $10 bill, complete with an image suitable for use as an etching. The subject? Harriet Tubman, someone whose name is known for her work in the area of human rights. I think she'd be a great first choice.
I have no problem with that but I assume they are just talking about paper money because at least 2 different females have been on our coins.

There is a funny exchange down in the thread where one primitive goes full DUmmie and as we all know...you never go full DUmmie. Apparently someone suggested Mongo/Kardashian/or something and had the alert buttons working overtime.

14. Yes. That a sarcastic Kardashian joke was one of the

first replies to a serious proposal bothers me, too.

Too bad. But there are also serious replies.

I started a new thread to give the subject another chance, and began with an actual suggestion of a person to honor to help get it off on a good start.

21. Is that an ableist slur you're using?

If so, I'd recommend you edit your post.

27. LOL. you guys are too sensitive..... Harriet Beecher Stowe

was my "serious" suggestion.

No it was not an "ableist" slur, but Jesus Christ that was a good try LOL ! Unless you count stupidity, vanity, selfishness and ignorance as a disability.........

39. The slur 'mongo' is well-known in the English language, is it not? Uhhh...no.

And did you not mean it as a put-down of current American society, saying that Americans are too stupid to agree with the President, and that a 'mongo' would be a more fitting choice to represent said stupid people?

No, I think I read you correctly. And I think those of us that try to make it socially unacceptable to use slurs, such as those used against people with Down's Syndrome, would agree that you have shown your true colors.

41. It's not, really. Even Urban Dictionary

doesn't list the meaning you infer. The word "mongo" is generally used as an adjective meaning "very large." The meaning provide isn't really in common use at all, as far as I know.

59. It can also be a shortened form of 'mongoloid'


Which was a derogatory term used for people with Down's syndrome. In the context, I did not read it as 'very large the Kardashian', but as a reference to intelligence, and hence read it as the slur.

way in the United States. It's really not.

70. Then I guess my international background has misled me.

Speaking 4 languages, and working on the fifth, a bit of bleed-off is to be expected.

However, I believe I reacted appropriately, by asking instead of alerting. It is not over-sensitivity to be aware of words that are slurs, even if it is in comparable languages.

71. While that is a secondary meaning, I don't think I've ever

heard or seen the word used that way. So, no, it's not in common use, as you suggested.

...and because this is a women's issue, guess who shows up?

And that the second must be as well shows just how much resentment there is toward something so basic.

Of course he wants it so that he can bring out his tired and worn out "war on women" meme when any conservative opposes it.

So, I have a bunch of Susan B Anthony dollars, are they misprinted or something? Maybe the meant Shawn B Anthony? I remember they came out in the late 70's. I thought it was so cool women were finally being recognized. I was a rabid feminist then because I think we were having all kinds of rallies for the Equal Rights Amendment.
