dani smith is a traitorous cunt!

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 week ago

Seditious bitch.

A shit-stain of a human who’s in it for herself.

So many places to go after Danielle smith. Do we have to make her sex one of them? She is a horrible leader, a liar, traitorous, vacuous, purveyor of bullshit culture war, climate change denier, maga sycophant, incompetent shitforbrains, and worst of humanity

You can say a lot without mentioning her sex

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He never mentioned her sex. Cunts are gender neutral.

Maybe is Australia. Next guys calls her a bitch. Just saying hate her cause she’s horrible. No need for misogyny

This is hypocrisy unless you’re also this offended when someone calls another person a dick

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Is it the same? Is calling a white person a cracker the same as calling a black person an nbomb?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I could. But she doesn't deserve that kind of respect

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I agree she doesn’t deserve respect. I guess my point is that it’s not just her that you’re hurting with misogynistic slurs, it’s also my daughter who gets hurt

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I totally hear you. It is not my intention to hurt anyone else besides danis shitty feelings. I just dont have a problem getting in the mud with them to play their own game

The word, as an insult, may be used predominantly to refer to either gender in some parts of the world, but in other parts it's usually gender-specific. Both points of view -- that it's misogynistic and that it's not -- could be argued to be valid because we live in different cultures. That said, we're a global audience here and so using this word across cultures becomes problematic.

Here in the USA, it's still a mostly gendered word based in misogyny. People in the US claiming otherwise probably just don't want to stop using the word as an insult and either don't believe or care that it perpetuates misogyny in the US when used against women.

The claim in this thread that it's matter-of-fact not misogynistic is untrue globally.
