Bette Midler chose to make a point about women in a very provocative way … and people are PISSED about it.
Bette tweeted Thursday — in the midst of protests in D.C. by women who strongly oppose the Supreme Court confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh — “Women, are the n-word of the world.”
“Women, are the n-word of the world.” Raped, beaten, enslaved, married off, worked like dumb animals; denied education and inheritance; enduring the pain and danger of childbirth and life IN SILENCE for THOUSANDS of years They are the most disrespected creatures on earth.

She added to her point by saying women are … “Raped, beaten, enslaved, married off, worked like dumb animals; denied education and inheritance; enduring the pain and danger of childbirth and life IN SILENCE for THOUSANDS of years.”
Midler ends her tweet by saying women “are the most disrespected creatures on earth.”
In 2 hours, her tweet has elicited almost 7 thousand replies, many of which are blasting her for minimizing racism while at the same time hurting the feminist movement.
Others are pissed that Midler, a rich white woman, is comparing the plight of women to the history of mistreatment of black people.
And then there are some just demanding she delete the tweet immediately. She hasn’t … yet.
