> [@margin](#): > > I love it when people act like sexism doesn’t exist and that language doesn’t reflect that. Tell me, are you one of those people who whines that black people get to use the ‘n-word’ and white people don’t? Slurs which refer to the female body as loathsome, when used on men, are designed to emasculate them and insult women as well by implying that being a woman is disgusting. Bravo for defending that. So much for fighting ignorance! I can’t imagine how difficult day-to-day life must be for you. ☹ ---

> [@margin](#): > > Do you say that to black or gay people, too? Well, usually I call other people “dicks” to insult them. But, I’ll have to change that since you’ve opened my eyes to the reality that the person I’m actually insulting is myself. ---

> [@margin](#): > > I love it when people act like sexism doesn’t exist and that language doesn’t reflect that. Are you illiterate, or did you just not yet read the link I posted in the other thread where you’re pulling this obnoxious bullshit? You know, the one where I firmly establish that I believe sexism is still very present in our society and point out how a particular phrase demonstrates and reinforces it. You vacuous whore. Oops, wait, was that sexist of me? > [@](#): > > Tell me, are you one of those people who whines that black people get to use the ‘n-word’ and white people don’t? Nope. Oh, what now, Ms. Smarty-Pants? > [@](#): > > Slurs which refer to the female body as loathsome, when used on men, are designed to emasculate them and insult women as well by implying that being a woman is disgusting. Or somebody just likes the word “cunt.” I do. It’s just fun to say: cunt, cunt, cunting cunt cunt cunt. I tend to use the word myself for my own ladybits, since I dislike “pussy.” Do you have a problem with my cunt, **margin**? I know it’s a good, \*strong \*word, and you may find that frightening. Here are [11,500](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=dick+site%3Astraightdope.com&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=CREjGaBnLTJWZKZLwiwOey6ECAAAAqgQFT9Clf08) returns for the word dick, [1,950](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=prick+site%3Astraightdope.com&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=) for prick, [3,550](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cock+site%3Astraightdope.com&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=) for cock, [339](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ballsack+site%3Astraightdope.com&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=) for ballsack, and [98](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ballbag+site%3Astraightdope.com&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=) for ballbag, all from this board. Please do let me know when you’ve combed through all of them and castigated as sexist every single person who’s used them as insults. ---

> [@margin](#): > > Nice sexist slur there. Do you hop into threads and chastise posters when they refer to people as dicks? Is asshole the only safe insult because it’s gender-neutral? I know that you were expecting to come in here heralding a regiment of white knights so you could all take turns chastising the politically incorrect but nobody gives a fuck. Sorry, this is a board for fighting ignorance, not perpetuating it. ---

At what point will we not let threadshitters hijack threads? If you really hate the word cunt, why not start a thread about it? Or are you afraid that, with even more people seeing it, you’ll be even further shown to be wrong? ---

I think that the officer was an, ummmmmmmm, a complete and utter poohy pants. I mentioned the war once but I think I got away with it. ---

Sorry, this is a board for fighting ignorance, not perpetuating it. Eh, **margin** ’s only lately popped up again after years of next to no posting, but yes, this is her SOP. And over in the “why won’t people date you?” thread she opines that some people baselessly consider her a feminazi. :dubious: ---
