I believe that falls into the sexist category.
Is it sexist if a woman says it about another woman?

Based on another popular example involved in the racism debate, I do not think so.
But... Logical thought process and equal treatment don't seem to be part of this equation, so we'd need to hear from the experts at CNN and other MSM to find out just exactly what is right and what is wrong.
Thank god that they're here for us.

Bill Maher openly used the N word on his show as well as compared Trump to an orangutan based on skin color.
He still has his show.

Whatever network Maher is on is a pay channel. No threat of an advertiser boycott, so the network doesn't face the same backlash.

Realize that calling blacks apes has a long dark history that needs to be recognized:

As history goes, sexism precedes racism and yet despite Bee's comments, not only is her show not canceled, she accepted an award for promoting social change last night.

Pretty clear that if you're liberal you can get away with anything.

You mean like Ted Nugent in 1994 calling Hillary Clinton a "toxic c*nt"?

I guess if Ted were liberal like Samantha Bee he'd be getting an award too.

Racism outweighs sexism in the mind of advertisers. End of story.

Good to know our moral compass is based on what advertisers and their liberal pimps determine is right.
FYI, in the hours after Bee's comments two major advertisers dropped Bee and more are to come. TBS though has no intention of canceling the show. On the other hand, I don't recall any advertisers that dropped Roseanne in that same time frame following her comments.
So much for the advertiser theory.

Said on the radio that the Bee comment was scripted.....
So The Network and Producers all OK'd the comment.?.?.?
Nice.
Some "quality" programming right there....
Yeah, and the 'Academy Award' she got was given in a private venue.
Thats a bit weird.

She created the show and the characters, she's still getting paid.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live- ... bc-1117397Following aggressive talks with exec producer Tom Werner, the Disney-owned broadcaster has handed out a 10-episode, straight-to-series order for Roseanne spinoff The Conners (working title). The new take, which will also be a multicamera comedy and premiere in the fall, will follow the Conner family who, after a sudden turn of events, are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before.
ABC stressed in its announcement Thursday that former star Barr will have no financial or creative involvement in the new series. Werner and Barr reached an agreement that will allow Werner Entertainment to produce the spinoff for ABC without Barr’s further creative or financial participation. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Barr will retain all rights to her Roseanne Conner character and any future spinoffs beyond The Conners or any future reboots of the original.

W/O Roseanne?
Yeah... that'll work as well as SIG's P365.

So what's the initial plotline? A white Christian male in a NRA t-shirt with a Stars and Bars hat was shooting at a group of disabled mixed-race transgender children with a AR-47 and she got caught in the crossfire?
