And they were afraid she was too much of a ballbreaker?

Like Trump’s use of the word “ballbreaker,” which is weighted with associations of man-hating, aggression and selfishness, the words he has recently deployed against the women he considers to be standing in his way are carefully chosen for maximum impact, deliberately playing into and exacerbating existing stereotypes.

Trump explained: “If he doesn’t lose the ballbreaker, his career will go nowhere.”

It’s not that they were making bad records, more that no one was turning to Black Ice or Ballbreaker instead of Back in Black or Highway to Hell.

I went through a stage when I worried it was my fault – had I been bossy and a ballbreaker when we had been together?
