[Days of Broken Arrows]

I wanted to point out some hypocrisy.

While feminists are bemoaning the use of the world "bossy," the word "dick" has become ubiquitous on feminist blog headlines and even in mainstream stories and books. This is not an accident. It's a deliberately anti-male word with negative connotations that should be obvious.

They also tell boys never to say "Don't be a pussy." And you definitely don't see that in headlines.

And with that, there is a teen etiquette guide penned by a feminist writer that has the word "Dick" in the title. The title will not be reprinted here, because I don't want to make it any more famous than it already is. And I hate to say it, but it's a big selling book.

I can't call the author out on Amazon because I'm an author of a mainstream book and they'll ban me and/or my publishing company will.

But if anyone wants to point out the above in the reviews, or tell the author to FUCK OFF, here is the link.

I think all feminists are hypocrites.

Nothing is solid with them, they change opinions in the snap of their fingers.

The dictionary definition for a feminist should be "see hypocrite."

What's more, feminists constantly call for genital mutilation to be exacted on dissenters. Ask Tuth or Roosh or Matt Forney.

I talk about the hypocrisy between the "dick" insult the "pussy" insult all the time. It's usually a slammer, conversation-ending statement when you're dealing with a feminist. Unlike other guys here, I do argue with feminists. But I don't argue to win, I argue to ruin their day--or even week.

This is true and can't be said often enough. I recall in college reading feminist assertions that the English language has many more female-specific putdowns than male-specific.* At the time I believed it; such well-regarded, seemingly thoughtful people must know what they were talking about, right?

But in fact the language is full of male-specific putdowns. Not just dick, prick, and chode, but dumb jock, frat boy, dudebro, douchbag, bastard, loser, wimp, scrub, chump, etc. Sure, words like 'loser' and 'douchebag' aren't explicitly gendered, but when was the last time you heard them directed at a female?

Personally, I think there is something in human nature that, when we want to tear someone down, often makes us want to do it in a gendered way. We call a woman a bitch or a cunt when we'd call a man a dick or prick. It's just how we are.

But as long as feminists are going to make bitch verboten, well...sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

*to be fair, the claim may have been that the language has more words specifically for female sluttiness--whore, slattern, hussy, etc.--than for male sluttiness. That's most likely true, because of course men shamed for being weak, ineffective, and unable to win a woman, rather than for being unchaste.

Whenever I hear about feminists wanting to ban words, particularly 'gendered' words, I always wonder how they deal with learning French/Spanish/Italian etc.

I can't imagine them getting their heads around why certain words/objects are feminine and some aren't... and am I glad I don't have to teach them!

I never use "bitch" to insult Feminists. A bitch can still be respected. It's like saying "you old dog!" to a guy...it's not really an insult.

I prefer the insult "Cunt" or "stupid fucking asshole" . Then you are making it clear, that they are scum.
