Just a note: calling oneself a deplorable makes it very tempting for me to deplore you. It's really weird social signaling: someone says you're a terrible group, and they start calling themselves the terribles as if that somehow proves the original point wrong.

I'm more ambivalent about the use of "nasty woman" -- perhaps because I'm blue tribe, but also because the word "nasty" is more ambivalent. It can mean annoying, cruel, promiscuous, or just gross. If it's the last meaning, saying that people have a reflexive negative emotional judgement of you is a far cry from the above, which is a moral judgement.
