and yet here you are using "grumpy asshole" in place of it perfectly well, without any of the misogynistic ties

I think part of three point is that it doesn't have to be misogynistic, kind of like how "queer" doesn't have to be a slur. I mean, there's even a feminist magazine called Bitch.

I think it's usually always better to work on changing a word, either to make it more broad or less offensive, then it is to try to censor it. Censoring almost never works.

do you really need the difference between reclaiming slurs and continuing to use slurs as pejoratives spelled out for you?

But "grumpy assholes" doesn't fully get across the piss-ant mentality that I want to convey.

Also, you - as (quite possibly) a woman - say the term is always inherently misogynistic. I as a woman say it is not. I believe we are at an impasse.
