Reply #94: sorry

I didn't know that bringing the use of sexist language - which is what we're discussing here, by the way, the very specific use of a word in a very obviously sexist way - to the attention of mods would be considered "a hassle."

I'm sorry if the fight for equality is getting in the way around here.

Really, the attitudes displayed in these threads are so much more fucking offensive to me as a woman than any slur you could throw at me. And the worst part is how many of you just don't. fucking. get it. There's just a complete lack of concern, a contempt, almost, for the efforts of women to eliminate sexist language from the discourse here.

Why? Why must everyone insist on the right to use this word in a sexist way? Why is it so important that your right to insult women be respected?
