Are you a misogynist? Taking the test.

[TexasTowelie]

75. I certainly know that some men (I'm one of them) are difficult to satisfy,

living with my brother is a real-life adventure as far as that is concerned. He and many other men that I know I can be hard to please so jerk or a**hole is an appropriate descriptor.

I guess that I associate the terms jerk and a**hole more with the male gender so I reserve those words for men. That leaves the "b" word as the fallback descriptor for a woman and I use that word very sparingly--so yes, I guess it means that I'm a misogynist. It's primarily because there is no other word in my vocabulary that is succinct and concise than the "b" word. When I checked an online dictionary for synonyms here is what came up:

witch
virago
frump
dame
battleax
harridan
chick
bird
princess
arm candy

I've never heard of virago or harridan prior to searching on the word b***h and the word that comes closest to conveying what I mean is witch, but that word isn't descriptive enough. However, I guess the next time I'm in a situation that calls for it I will use harridan and observe how the woman reacts.

I do take affront to comments when one of my male friends says something like "let's pick up the b***hes and go to the bar" using that word in a collective sense. So please do not be too harsh in your judgment of me since I limit my usage of the "b" word more than other terms like jerk or a**hole. I know that it is wrong, but the word is so ingrained in our culture that it is difficult to avoid using it in lieu of "difficult to satisfy woman."
