9 hours agoCan you explain to me why criticizing her behavior requires the use of a specifically gendered insult? Does her gender play into why it’s bad? Do you mean to imply that if a man did the same thing it would be ok? Is it extra wrong because of gender-specific expectations of behavior? Meanwhile “dumb bitch” is doubly loaded as a phrase, given that it’s a phrase that’s often dismissive of women in general, or implies that the two things are linked.
I doubt that would actually be true, but tbh I’m not sure if that would make it any better, because that just sounds like you’re attacking his masculinity.
Also, getting defensive about problematic language and denying that it’s problematic, rather than acknowledging it and trying to avoid it in the future is very, y’know, MAGA. We do not need to sink to their level.
