Nice. Gendered insults. You're a lovely person horrible wet cancershit.

[insanenoodlyguy]

Don't be a dick about it, you pussy.

[(Anonymous)]

Twat and cunt don't seem to be gendered the way bitch is. I feel like they're underused as gender-neutral insults.

How the hell are they gender-neutral?

[(Anonymous)]

They are slang for female genitalia. And before you say they are also used as insults toward men, that doesn't make it better. It just means that being called something associated with women is an insult (like pussy). That is not a good thing. And it is different from calling someone a dick, because even though it's an insult, a lot of people like penises. I'm not saying that everyone who uses cunt or twat dislike them, but that's where the insults come from. And, yes, in the UK, twat means something else too, but the other meaning doesn't just go away.

Re: How the hell are they gender-neutral?

So you are solving that problem by acting like twats are way worse then dicks?

Re: How the hell are they gender-neutral?

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

I'm not solving any problem. I'm just saying that I think that cunt and twat come with more baggage because of their association with women since women have been and still are denigrated for being their gender while men, for the most part, are not.

Re: How the hell are they gender-neutral?

lmao, what the fuck are you even babbling about? You change directions like thirty times.

"A lot of people like penises" yes and vaginas are 100% reviled, you got it.

Dick is entirely on the same level as twat, and I see both terms leveled against anyone, regardless of gender. You're making up an issue where there isn't one.

Re: How the hell are they gender-neutral?

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

Yes, I trying to answer every counter-argument I've heard:

"I call everyone twat, regardless of their gender." - That doesn't make an insult gender-neutral. Asshole is gender-neutral because everyone has one.

"People don't seem to mind dick and if cunt and twat are gendered, so is dick." - Yes, dick is gendered but it doesn't have the same baggage. Women, both for their gender and sexuality, have been and still are disparaged. Men, for the most part, not so much.

"Twat doesn't just mean that." Yes, it has other meanings, but guess which one people are using as an insult. Just like fag is not just a bundle of sticks or a cigarette.

If you don't have an issue with it, that's your prerogative, but I do. And so do some other people.

Oh, and about vaginas not being 100% reviled, yeah, no, not 100%, but if you've never heard people (both men and women) call them ugly or gross or alien-looking or other derogatory things, be glad.

Re: How the hell are they gender-neutral?

[(Anonymous)]

So people from the UK or who learnt British English should stop saying twat because people from other parts of the world might be offended? Okay then. I always like to censor my language to try and make it acceptable in every country in the world. (Spoiler alert: I don't.)

Re: How the hell are they gender-neutral?

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

I'm saying if you use it as an insult, you should be aware of all the connotations, that's all. It also has the meaning of female genitals in the UK.

[(Anonymous)]

I bet dollars to donuts you're the same person who told me off last week for something similar. And yet you see nothing wrong with calling someone a "cancershit"? Your soapbox is old, tired, and hypocritical.
