What's the difference between calling a poster a c**t and...

You’re not “saying she’s got female body parts” as though you’re using some neutral term without history and social context, now are you? You’re using a word that when used against a woman, was a vile insult. In fact, it’s a lot less of an insult used against a man, in some places.

The fact that you privilege the word does not require me to do so. It simply doesn’t.

What I privilege is irrelevant - I’m quite happy to use the word in a positive context, like I said.

What matters to me is the intent behind its use in that thread, where it clearly was intended as part of an insult.

The subject of the specific semantic delineations between misogynistic and non-misogynistic uses of gendered vulgarities is interesting, but not really appropriate to this forum. Could make a heck of a GD.

Since the OP’s questions have been answered, and he seems satisfied with them, I’m going to close this thread.
