76. People say it's intrinsically misogynistic
to, for instance, use the word "shrill." I'm not willing to dump a perfectly good descriptive word because it offends some highly sensitive people. Sorry, I value my vocabulary more than their feelings. Men can be shrill. Just because someone finds a woman shrill doesn't mean they have a complex around hating women.

I know misogyny is real--I know misogynists. They are a small minority of the men I know, unlike the majority of white people I have encountered who are racist on some level.
