I don’t think calling Carolyn Goodman a “stupid bitch” or “stupid cunt” amounts to misogyny. If it helps you understand, my working definition of misogyny is hatred of women because they are women. Hating one woman because “she is a bitch” would not necessarily be misogyny. “I hate all women because all women are bitches” would be misogyny. Siam Sam ’s language can reasonably be interpreted as an expression of his hatred of Carolyn Goodman, but I fail to see a reason to assume he hates her because she is a woman as opposed to her actions as mayor of Las Vegas.
You fail to see the point several posters are trying to make. They are saying that the words “bitch” and “cunt” are descriptors for women simply because they are women, as opposed to any behavior they might have.
Neither do I consider all hateful speech to be hate speech. I say hate speech has to show hatred because of some protected trait, for example on the basis of sex, gender, race, etc. If you hate a black man because he punched your wife, that hatred is not racist. It is not hate speech to verbalize that hatred, in my opinion, not even if you use slurs, so long as it is clear that you are disparaging the single man and not the whole class of people.
So, yes or no, if a black man punches your wife, calling him a nigger is not hate speech?
