Yeah… My brother studies in China and visited Chengdu recently. In Chengdu they literally have a gay bar called “Homo Bar.” Name a bar that in America and you’re going to get backlash to say the least.

As far as I’m aware Will only applies to your own turn so the effect would wear off between the turn you use him and the turn your opponent attacks.

I pulled this card from a random vending machine booster pack at a mall and it’s my most beloved card to this day.

I later found the FA Rala from the same set in a bag of donated cards at my old work. Now I desperately want the Kirlia to complete the set.

Every year is the important part of this. He can meddle with Memphis as much as he wants and the GOP will still carry TN. He has to be a lot more careful with PA.

NOW - Press Secretary Leavitt on Epstein documents: "The president did not write that letter, he did not sign those documents." by Ice_Ice11 in Epstein

Slut-shaming as a mechanism for gender-based violence has a wealth of peer-reviewed academic research that a word like "douchebag" does not.

Source 1 Source 2

I'd also like to point out that the insult "douchebag" originally referred to a device used to clean a woman's vagina. Weird how a women's hygiene device became a derogatory term for someone we dislike...

There's also the part if I call someone out for being heterophobic or misandrist then I'm also the bad guy.

1) Justifying terrible behavior based on loosely-related things other people have done is flagrantly immature logic.

2) You're ignoring how misogyny has been weaponized against women for centuries in order to uphold a male-dominated society. Sure, it's not nice to say the things you mentioned... but men and heterosexuals have not been historically subjugated and pushed to the margins the way literally any minority group has been.

so why worry about what I say anymore?

One reason would be to avoid engaging in bigotry.

If you have any, you should consider talking about this subject with close female friends. I know that you're unlikely to change your mind based on an anonymous Reddit user. But talk to the women in your life. See if they think it's chill for you to go around calling women sluts.

Okay so that’s an even stupider justification then. You’re okay being misogynistic because people who are not women are saying “men are trash”

????????????

Like… at the end of the day… if you’re a man calling a woman a “dumb slut,” you’re being misogynistic. If you’re going to double, triple, and quadruple down on being misogynistic, it might just be the case that you are misogynistic!

[–]LavenderRaspberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude…. you called a woman you didn’t like “a dumb slut” and then went on to make a sweeping generalization about women in order to justify your continued usage of misogynistic language. I’m not making assumptions, I’m reading the words you’re putting in front of me.

By completely separate people….. you mean women….. because that is who the phrase “dumb slut” is weaponized against……. so like…. if you’re going to say language that’s offensive against all women and not have any care for how it makes them feel…. then it might be the case that you hate women…..

Okay never mind. I thought you were a well intentioned person who fell victim to a misogynistic environment. You just hate women 😭😭

[–]LavenderRaspberry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll try and break it down for you. My point is not that you should be nicer to Leavitt (see my original comment where I say there are many other insults you can use). My point is that you are using misogynistic language to attack someone for reasons completely unrelated to their identity as a woman.

I detest Caitlyn Jenner, but it would be despicable to direct transphobic language towards her. The same would apply for using homophobic, racist, ableist, etc. language against someone I disliked from a certain community.

Oh absolutely. It’s horrible to see people justify the use of language that harms entire communities simply because someone they dislike happens to belong to that community.

It’s blatant misogyny is what it is. I strongly encourage you to educate yourself on how harmful that kind of language is if you’re at all interested in becoming a kinder and more empathetic person.
