(1,487 posts)that calling someone a dick and calling a woman a c---- are very different things. It is not at all about body parts. But you know that.
They are not "equally insulting." You know that.
This has been explained time and again. Continuing to claim this makes sensible people tune you out-as it should.
I am reminded of climate-change deniers, or evolution-deniers. When someone says that evolution is only a theory-smart people immediately assume that the person is ignorant and is to be ignored. When someone says that climate-change doesn't sound right to them-they are shunned by smart people--as they should be.
When someone equates calling someone a dick with calling a woman a c---, it causes the same type of reaction.
In my head, I think, "This person is not familiar with the English language and its usage."
Or, I think, "This is the type of person who says Bill Cosby's accusers are in it for the money."
It's like this. Statements like that are like the people who put the confederate flag on their trucks. It is the rare time when complete fucking idiots advertise to the world that they are complete fucking idiots. Now we don't have to guess!
