How to take the word “nasty” and turn it into something glorious—Bustle shows us the way.
Hillary Clinton has learned to embrace Donald Trump's insults, and boy, did he hurl a lot of them during the final presidential debate. But his most insane insult also became the most classic: his interjection, seemingly out of nowhere, that Clinton was "such a nasty woman." Voters got to see Trump's constant vitriol for women wrapped up in one neat declaration, and because Clinton's team is clearly filled with social marketing geniuses, the Democratic candidate got a new slogan.
Here’s the good part. Someone purchased NastyWomenGetShitDone.com and redirected it back to the Clinton campaign website.
A supporter of Hillary Clinton named Jeff Meltz, rather than the Hillary For America campaign itself, claims to be responsible for buying the "Nasty Women Get Shit Done" domain name and redirecting it to Clinton's official campaign site. "I registered the site because of the comment and also the idea of "bitches get stuff done," Meltz, a New Yorker, tells Bustle. "I forwarded to Hillary's site because I'm voting for her and any possible effort I could make to drive more traffic and donations to her campaign, I figured, why not."
In a 1993 interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Janet Jackson said her classic song “Nasty” was inspired out of disgust in dealing with “abusive and sexually threatening” men.
"They were emotionally abusive, sexually threatening," Jackson told the magazine in 1993. "Instead of running to [her producers] Jimmy [Harris] or Terry [Lewis] for protection, I took a stand. I backed them down. That's how songs like 'Nasty' and 'What Have You Done for Me Lately' were born, out of a sense of self-defense."
And if you’ve never seen the “Nasty” music video, you’re in for a treat. Here’s the clip directed by Mary Lambert.
Thank you, Janet Jackson. (Miss Jackson if you’re nasty.)
