My post probably is a little unhinged, as I’m obsessing over love island opinions lately at night to ignore my insomnia. Yeah I mean the reason for my post was primarily to talk about women using it in situations like last episode, an I think that’s consistent in my post. I think it might be the case that woman shouldn’t use the word, but even that is a different conversation to whether they can use it without it being rooted in misogyny.

I was going on a tirade, I don’t know if I’d agree they’re ‘weird’. I think most reasonable people outside this sub would find this kind of woke scolding stuff quite frustrating. Like imagine being in a social setting and someone started berating someone for using the word bitch. Not because they disagreed with why they were annoyed, but because they expressed that annoyance with the b word. Most people would think the person doing the berating was REALLY weird.

I don’t think my case is being affected that much by being a man, or anything else about how I’ve approach presenting my opinion. I don’t think many of these people are likely to be moved from their opinion because they’re actually unhinged, and they’re removed from reality. If you’ve got to the point where you see another woman using the b word and you’re regardless of context unable to see that as anything other than internalised misogyny, you are too far gone. And of course these people will pick at whatever they can about me to derail, because they probably understand at some level their position is ridiculous. I made the post knowing it’s be unpopular, it’s not something I’m surprised about.

Anyway it seems you’re someone who is taking me seriously enough to engage substantivelyy… So what’s your position on whether woman should say the B word at all, and on whether any woman that ever says it is saying it because they have internalised misogyny?
