    Because its association with vagina, so using it as an insult is akin to calling men “effeminate”. Calling them womanlike for supposedly being timid is insulting to women and therefore misogynist.

    Probably they are sexist if they think woman can not be unemotional, stoic, strong and courageous.

    🤣🤣 these attempts at defending bigoted insults by turning the accusations around are always pretty funny but this is twe most hamfisted attempt I’ve seen yet.

    Also how is unemotional a desirable quality in a person? Serial killer shit right there

      English language is wonderful. Cunt means something else entirely. What other vagina derivate insults do you guys have?

      But this p word is always used like this.

      Why holy shit is not insult to religion? You are calling shit holy?

      Because its association with vagina

      Then solution to piss off misogynist is simple, call brave women dick. Bravo greeta thumber, you are real dick!

      Hmm that as motive makes sense, but it is still unjust IMHO, which word you would have used instead? Coward? Gutless? P word is always used, never saw any other word used for this.

      these attempts at defending bigoted insults

      That looked insult to you, not me. I had no idea, tbh.

        Take this as a learning experience to become familiar with non sexist insults. Coward and gutless would be perfectly suited alternatives. It’s the same principle as using “gay” as a pejorative towards a straight man. It’s only insulting if you think being gay is something bad, so that is the implication. Just because these words are commonly used as insults in society doesn’t mean they are not a form of commonplace bigotry.

        By you.

        “Religion” is not under attack at all. Quite the opposite.

        Then solution to piss off misogynist is simple, call brave women dick. Bravo greeta thumber, you are real dick!

        Ok you’re just a corny troll who doesn’t give a shit. So brave.

          you are just spreading your propaganda, I am talking about language. I hope these religious extremist people ban these words so you can experience unfairness of censor of language. They are not only fascist, look at mirror

          By you.
