'Nasty Woman': Here's How MTV's First Ladies Define Trump's Now-Infamous Term

The women from 'Loosely Exactly Nicole,' 'Mary + Jane' and 'Sweet/Vicious' aren't happy (obvi)

When Donald Trump uttered "such a nasty woman" under his breath about Hillary Clinton during the final presidential debate, the statement (understandably) sparked a tremendous reaction. Ardent Clinton supporter Katy Perry donned a T-shirt with the slogan (see it below) and sales for Janet Jackson's hit "Nasty" soared on Spotify, to name just two examples of the after-effect.

"I think a nasty woman is a woman who doesn't say no -- she doesn't back down. She's smart, she's overqualified. She lets red-faced idiots speak and waits her f*cking turn. Truly. When he called her a nasty woman, I was like, 'I can't believe my ears and eyes!' It was wild." -Nicole Byer

Mary + Jane

"First of all, Miss Janet. But to me, a nasty woman is just a woman who is claiming the negative things that men stigmatize women's bodies and personalities for doing and just being like, 'Yeah sure, you want to call my existence nasty?'" -Scout Durwood

"It's ownership, but I also love that I feel like what nasty woman meant a few weeks ago and what it means now are completely different things. Now you want to wear a shirt that says 'nasty woman' on it." -Jessica Rothe

"My favorite response to his rhetoric is actually what our writer Jared wrote. And he wrote, 'The pussy grabs back.' And to me, that says everything. I know girls using the c-word endearingly to each other now -- I don't know how I feel about it, to be honest. But it's time for us to stand up, and I think we're doing a pretty damn good job this election season." -Taylor Dearden

"My definition of a nasty woman is a woman that doesn't take no sh*t from nobody. I have been called all of the things in the book -- and every time it happens, all I hear is that I'm doing something right because someone feels threatened by something that I have done. I think Tina Fey said it best years ago, when Hillary Clinton was running the first time: 'Bitches get sh*t done.' Call me whatever you want, because I'm over here getting that job done." -Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, creator and executive producer

"It's really nice to re-appropriate that line and say we're proud to be nasty women. We're strong and we have a lot of strong women on the show, so we're proud of that." -Amanda Lasher, executive producer
