Not really. It would take a majority of the house, and the majority is liberal.

The majority appoint the speaker, and then are required to police that speaker. What a system.

For the record, Laserface, here's why your post was dumb as poo poo:

Using "sewing circle" to describe a collective of people engaged in petty trivial gossip is a sexist thing to do. This is because

(1) Sewing circles have unarguably traditionally and historically been groups of women. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing_circle

(2) Society has long trivialised social interaction and discussion among women by perpetuating the stereotype that gossip is predominantly the domain of women.

These things hold true whether or not there is anything essentially or inherently feminine about sewing. They hold true whether or not the person doing this analysis believes that sewing is women's work.

So it is possible to observe that "sewing circle" is a gendered slur without actually holding any stereotypically sexist beliefs yourself.

In fact not only is it possible, it's actually the only informed view to reach.
