As long as it's a gendered insult in a world where woman-hating is still prevalent, none of us can check out of the misogyny it perpetuates if we keep using this word. I'm sorry if it means we have to change our vocabulary (which, incidentally, I think is a really small price to pay), but that's how language, society, culture and the patriarchy work.The Complaining Cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567005579120090088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977722860251289885.post-60493780648731105312010-09-03T15:40:17.027+08:002010-09-03T15:40:17.027+08:00eh, but i call men bitches too. in fact, i probabl...eh, but i call men bitches too. in fact, i probably use the word for men way more often than women. it's a sex-less word for me.

You ...Way to derail and miss the point, Anonymous. You suggest that using a misogynist slur is acceptable so long as one doesn't turn tail afterward. You suggest that the desirable quality of sticking by one's words is a function of maleness. And you are more interested in defending some monolithic notion of 'manhood' than in addressing the issue of slurs against women.
