Unfortunately for you, you are not the authority on what is and isn’t a slur.
It has been used as a "term of contempt towards women" for "over six centuries", and is a slur that fosters sexism against women. It has been characterized as "an archaic word demeaning women since as early as the 15th century" that seeks to control women.
It’s always disappointing to see people who think themselves reasonable delighting in the usage of slurs when given the opportunity to tear down someone they perceive as disliked by their community. It is much more damning to them than the object of their ire.
Greene is a symptom of the cancer metastasized on our civilization, but deploying gendered slurs against her is counterproductive and pitiful.
I will never understand how the cruise industry still exists. I cannot fathom the appeal, nor how the companies survived Covid.
Why do people always focus on women's appearances when discussing topics wholly unrelated to appearance?
Because misogyny is pervasive in culture and when most people perceive a woman as “bad”, it suddenly feels ok for them to reduce her to her appearance. Most folks are not nearly as enlightened as they like to think.
For real. Each sentence made me want to throw up in my mouth. This misogyny combined with wealth worship and zero-sum outlook on life is an unforgivable character flaw. What a vapid, worthless existence.
Your pearl-clutching, tone-policing reaction to the mildest possible description of a would-be fascist authoritarian is fucking sad.
