82. I agree. And how do our gay DU'ers like it
when "butt boy" is used as an insult?

Or what about the phrase "has balls." Since when did courage become a male attribute?

I know people say things like this without meaning any disrespect. It's so embedded in our language. But I'd like to see a day when these phrases are no longer heard as funny or normal, but as embarrassing remnants of our homophobic/sexist past.
