Yea, revealing all the tact and charm of a turpentine enema
That was absolutely a sexist insult against Johanna and I have reported it as such. This board unfortunately still has a problem with sexism and misogyny that it needs to deal with.
Maybe. Many people have speculated that Britain adopted a more open-minded attitude towards Canadian sovereignty as a result of losing the American colonies.
Out of curiosity, I looked up all of the times @Mundane_Super_Hero used the word “skank”. Anyone want to guess how many times he’s used it to refer to a man?
First, I’m curious how often he’s used it at all.
Little turd.
Well, only four times total, so it’s a weak sample… but three of those were for women and once for a bank.
Alright, now I’m curious.
Was it to create a rhyme?
Skank, without a shadow of a doubt, is a gendered insult.
Ewww!
I agree.
Yes; I’ve never heard it used otherwise.
I’ll also note that gay men occasionally using it doesn’t make it any less gendered, since comparing people to the opposite gender as an insult is a long tradition of sexism.
As an insult, I agree.
I do hear it all the time in the dancing context. Maybe MSH is a Rasta 
That’s true – in verb form, it’s a kind of dancing, right?
I don’t understand why using a gendered insult is supposed to be worse than a non-gendered one, but this is a ridiculously over-the-top response to someone who plainly just didn’t ‘get’ your post and wanted to keep the conversation serious.
Mostly. I have heard it in noun form - most notably on LKJ’s classic dub Street 66:
The mighty poet I Roy was on the wire
Weston did a skank and each man laugh and feeling irie, dread I
The two cases are so different that such speculation sheds no light. Britain actively encouraged confederation, as it was keen to end old colonial relationships, apart from India.
Substitute race for gender and see if you can get it.
Hell, given this thread’s ‘’‘‘subject’’’ try substituting an anti-Semitic slur for one that is not anti-Semitic.
Well said.
