10. Coming here spelling in full the most harmful and despicable gender slur, like doing so with N word

is to show sheer contempt for all the women who have had that ugly slur used against them to derail their careers and diminish them as women, as people. No less than if someone came here and did so with the "N" word. Would you defend THAT? Tone, indeed. It is common decency. No one is saying it can't be discussed, but spelling it out without even using quotes, is gratuitous and contemptuous. And your defending such is, at best questionable as well. Tone, indeed.
