32. What utter and complete nonsense

Thu May 8, 2025, 12:12 PM

May 8

At no point did I say I was more upset about one or the other. If you think you or the original poster couldn't have made the same point without misogynistic language, that's your own limitation and maybe you should take a moment to examine why that is to use your own words. I'm actually pretty reflective on my language which is why I don't use the word bitch to describe someone I don't like.

I'm not sure how post on the Internet about something happening to someone you don't know hardly qualifies as an emotional response that gets a pass on using slurs. It's not an in the moment thing by definition. Would you be making the same remark if the OP used the c word?

Adding the word bitch didn't add anything to the post, and detracted from the point that she's bad for being a bigot. But I guess it's easier to ascribe negative motivations to me than being more introspective. If you can't even consider anything other than your own perspective, that's a you limitation.
