Re: How the hell are they gender-neutral?

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.
