the user isn't the point here..Consider all of those who tell racist or homophobic "jokes", only to later claim they're 'not anti-gay', not 'racist', they're just 'joking'
In some cases, they may even be telling the truth, at least within the limits of their own self awareness, but again, that's not the point..What's at issue here, is the fact that bigoted language is itself hurtful to the people it targets. It does, in addition, reinforce negative attitudes toward the targeted group.
To those liberals expressing concern about "cancel culture" or "language policing" regarding sexist language, I'll note here that I've yet to hear such objections used in defense of racist or homophobic language. To paraphrase writer Susan Brownmiller, the liberal mindset, so quick to understand the hateful connotation of the "n-word" or the "f word", is fiercely obdurate when it comes to the verbal denigration of females.
As for the desire to "enjoy the occasional vulgarity", here's a tip: Do so at the expense of your own gender, race, gender identity...Women (and the rest) are sick to death of being its default target.
