Holy crap that’s a lot of comments I don’t wanna be involved with😅 anyway, I’m surprised no one has voted for only sexist. Obviously it’s both, but like someone else said, no one used that language in reference to president Obama (at least from what I’m aware of). And honestly, I’m not surprised by how many people said neither. I know wayy too many people irl that don’t see a problem with the statement

Bitch originated from the term for a FEMALE dog, so it absolutely is intended to be derogatory towards women. You may call whoever you want a bitch, but that doesn’t negate what the term actually represents.

It’s a word specifically targeted at women or femininity when used against men. There is also no curse word in English that’s the equivalent for men, so that cemments it even further as misogynistic

You’re probably right about them just wanting attention. Idk, ig the only people I’ve interacted with who’ve been argumentative purely for the sake of attention were trolls, not people who genuinely seem to believe what they’re arguing (I know that’s common on twitter but I’ve rarely ever used twitter). I think I figured if I could just get them to listen that things would go well

Just in case, I’m going to leave it at this: n word without hard r is the reclaimed version of the word, it’s used casually and can refer to men or women. With the hard r is the original version and is extremely racist and, like the reclaimed version, is for men or women

You don’t follow your own logic. If the n word is gender neutral because black girls use it with each other, then so is bitch because males use “bitch” with each other too?

N word is a slur against black people which has been reclaimed by black people by not using the hard r. Bitch is a derogatory term targeted at women. When people call men bitches with derogatory intent, it’s targeting annoying and aggressive traits often seen as feminine. N word without hard r is heard most often in rap which is male dominated, meaning you hear black men say it more often than black women. It can and is used to address black women though Bitch can address men or women, but it-

Honestly, the original comment was nasty and disrespectful, no one should talk about people like that. But I personally didn’t read it as sexist. I saw it as a racially motivated insult toward Kamala, not an attack on women. Just because someone uses a gendered word doesn’t mean they’re sexist, context matters, and to me the issue here was clearly race.

Hard R or A it’s the same word. It’s been softened because we have a different dialect(mostly here in the south). If someone pronounces fire as “fiya” yk they’re still talking about fire even tho the “err” has been softened 😐

That’s because of the historical context behind each word. It doesn’t matter how we use them today it matters why these words were created and how they were originally used. It’s not sexist when u refer to men as the n word because it wasn’t and isn’t just used against men. It’s sexist when u call anyone a bitch because it’s rooted in misogyny. That’s the reasoning.
