Women, do the words “slut,” “ho,” “whore,” “bitch,” or “cunt” offend or anger you?

[jennifer_bloom]

I assume that people who describe me in words that don’t explain or address who I am are losers with limited vocabulary and emotional strength cause strong people don’t waste their time hating and attacking harmless people, they work on bettering themselves and their own lives instead.

[Asker]

That can be true, sure.

[DizzyDesii]

Slut annoys me when a guy uses it in a way that he think turns a girl on. Like nah, i dont find that cute. The B word and C word are just disrespectful in general in my opinion. Im not bothered by hoe since i refer to people and objects as hoes and not in reference to how many people someone slept with

[OlderAndWiser]

Those words merely represent the opinions of the speaker and they have the right to express their opinions. And anyone who disagrees with the speaker is free to express their disapproval. But anyone who tries to interfere with our right to express our opinions is an enemy of freedom!

[ChrisMaster69]

Agree with @Ninania on this.

Context comes into it, in the right context anyone should be offended or angered, even you.

[Asker]

Personally, words don’t really offend and definitely do not anger me.

[ChrisMaster69]

Oh really?

[Asker]

I attest to my upbringing, but even more so to the types of books I’ve read, media I’ve watched, and overall people/environment I’ve been around.

I’m not special, this is common in the environments and people I’ve been privy to.

[ChrisMaster69]

So if a guy says your mum, sister is a whoring cum drinking cunt

You just take it in your stride?

Ditto being called a pathetic cunt, does not phase you

Even the type of cunt who hits women

[Asker]

Did you not see where I said “personally.”

I’ve never hit, struck, physically, or emotionally abused a woman.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yes as in they don’t upset you personally

But if the words don’t upset women, then their use should be fine.

From your question on beating up women the other day… you missed out the YET

[Asker]

I asked if these words would offend the women who people answer the question

My question the other day was worded deliberately.
Doesn’t say or imply I like to or have physically abused women.

Perhaps, maybe I’m wrong, you’re reading into the question too much?

[ChrisMaster69]

I was not the only one to read into it.

Quote - If my brothers’ women cheated on them, I’d be the closest I’ve ever been to beating up a woman.
There’s little I tolerate when it comes to my brothers and family overall.

Unquote.

That basically says you would beat up a woman.

Also words do hurt.

If they did not, you would not mind a random stranger saying them to your mum, sister etc.

Because they do offend when used in that context, then obviously they will offend others.

[Asker]

“That basically says you would beat up a woman”

Definitely not.

“I’d be the closest I’ve ever been to beating up a woman”

You know what this translates to?

[ChrisMaster69]

Yes if a woman hurt one of your mates enough by cheating you would beat her up, it would need to be bad but you would do it.

[Asker]

No..

[ChrisMaster69]

What does it mean then?

If it does not mean that, then it’s like a pointless statement.

As it would mean if someone cheated on a mate you would not do anything.

[Asker]

Also, I said “brother” not friend/mate.

Again, everything that was written was deliberate.

But now, I think you’re trying to change what I wrote to fit what you want to believe.

[ChrisMaster69]

It’s basic English

[Asker]

Mate= friend or pal

I do not think it is to specifically refer to one’s actual brother

[ChrisMaster69]

Brother in military is a mate, mucka, pal, etc

I’m using it in the military connotation

[Asker]

I’m US.
We never use that.

[SaoirseS]

We never use brothers (or sisters) in the military? Where did the terms Brothers in Arms, and Band of Brothers come from then? I hear it all the time.

[Asker]

Look no need to grasp for straws here.

You know, this whole thing revolves around the word “mate.”

We don’t use mate and how I’ve come to know the word is to denote friends and not family.

[SaoirseS]

Shipmates, Team mates, squad mates, bunk mates, and play mates would disagree with you.

[Asker]

No one uses “mates” just overall in the military.

Overall in US vernacular.

It’s strictly something I’ve heard from countries like the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.

Also, I would disagree with “squad mates” definitely not a common thing if a thing at all.

We just say “squad” like, “those in my squad.”

For “bunk mates,” another one is “bunk buddy.”

“Shipmates.” Uh…. We don’t talk about the navy. Aka semen

I mean! Seaman

[SaoirseS]

Um no one? Lol. Did you forget I’m in the same Army as you? Just behave yourself, or they’ll ship you just north of me where you can be a inmate, hopefully one with a civilized cell mate.

[Asker]

“Mate” is not popular vernacular in the US.

In the military, perhaps to denote certain titles, but not popularly used to describe friends.
Americans will just refer to friends as “friends,” “pal,” or “buddies.”

“My bud.”
“I have a friend.”

Etc.

Military is like this.
The country overall is like this.

When “mate” was used I was assuming it was as “friend.”

Because I refer to my actual brothers as “brothers.”

I don’t refer to my actual brothers as “mates” lol.

And I know @SaoirseS does not either.

You just call them “brothers.”

This is my point.

[SaoirseS]

I use teammates and squad mates quite frequently thank you very much. But to say it’s not fairly common vernacular is a stretch. Yes, UK, NZ, and Australia use the term more frequently. We rarely if ever say just “mate,” granted, but it isn’t totally out of use here.

[SaoirseS]

Midwest cities have a lot of insular communities that use the term “mate,” Indians for example. They’re Americans too.

[Asker]

You finally understand my point…

I think you were just arguing with me just to argue Lmao…. smh.

[SaoirseS]

I understood your point from the outset, you were too busy defending your foxhole to understand mine. Broad sweeping generalizations can do that.

[Asker]

I know there are words that have “mate” in them lmao.

I have never said otherwise

My whole point is that my last post had me saying “brother” to refer to actual brothers I have—biological.

@ChrisMaster69
Thought I was using that word similar to “mates” to denote friends, buddies, or pals of mine.

Everything else you see above is me explaining the misinterpretation.

It’s just a fact that, generally speaking, Americans do not refer to friends as “mates.”

Majority will use the word “friend” or “friends.”

Yes, you can find all sorts of insular communities to support whatever you want to believe is the general or popular belief, thought, opinion, etc.

I know actual pagans who believe in Thor, Odin, etc.
These are Americans

Is the US popularly or majority Pagan? No

This is my point…… But you had to bring in some community and say “look, here, they use “mates.”

Smh… I feel bad that I had to respond this much to this.

It’s early in the morning and I just worked out and you’re keeping me from enjoying my delicious rice, beans, and eggs.

How dare u

[SaoirseS]

Oh suck it up, grunt. You signed up for this. Tomorrow I’ll be a single digit midget.

[Asker]

There’s a reason my name is

Embrace. The. Pain

[SaoirseS]

Hunt the good stuff when you can, embrace the suck only when absolutely necessary.

[Asker]

Ye..

[England4eva]

Depends if it’s being directed at me or not.

Any guy using them in a disparaging way against women, is viewed as a complete loser by men and women anyway.

So, I never feel the need to unleash equally pathetic words back on individuals, trying their best to belittle me in an uneducated fashion.
I’ve had a few distributed my way on here also. Water off a ducks back.

Power always goes to the person who doesn’t react. Peace ✌️

[Msputiton]

Naw, i actually feel embarrassed for the person using them.
They really think they doing something, but all they doing is embarrassing themselves with the same old weak ass insults that been thrown out for decades.

Like y'all can't even be creative with your insults, and they so watered down they really have no meaning no more.

[amandat94132]

People that use those words don't understand the words make them look bad

I would not waste my time being angry about someone looking like a double standardish fool Because other people's words can't be controlled, one can
only control their reactions to the words

[Squaresquirrel]

I dislike it when women call each other like that.
But most of the time when a man calls a woman a slut, that woman earned the title.
For me it only counts as abuse when it is undeserved.
Hmm, even then, as I am thinking... no, it just shows his character.

[HotPinkDominatrxSlut]

No. People let words offend them too easily. I'm a total slut and damn proud of it and I actually take being called a slut as a huge compliment.

[dustybiker]

No. Those are a reflection of the person using them.

[SaoirseS]

No, but it tells me those who use them are low brow, low class and apparently haven’t left high school yet.

[aubsanderson]

No cause its usally against something out of my control or the other persons anger so it doesn't offend me

[FunkyMonkee]

What's the difference between ho and whore? It's the exact same word except that "ho" is infantile pronunciation of "whore".

[Angelacandy1]

Not at all. In fact it makes me pity the persons using these words for their narrow attitudes. These people are a punishment for themselves.

[Blackcupcake]

nope it just says a lot about the person who uses them to try and “offend” me lol

[Asker]

What do you think it says about the other person?

[TacosRAwesome]

Depends on context. Eg calling a woman who poisoned your dog a cunt is acceptable. Calling someone a cunt for disagreeing with you is not. Same with all the others.

[2facedfa1ry]

not at all unless they're used by incel like types to actually degrade girls (like actually)

[katiesmuff]

No and I presume at some point any one of those slangs would have fit for me.

[Anonymous]

I think it’s funny how many women here are acting like they have never referred to another woman a “bitch.”

😂

Stick to your stories. Maybe someone will believe you 😂

[Iron_Man]

They hate it but they like to call a man a loser and creepy old man And bastard that’s their main tools I’ve seen it all over the place

[Ms_Facesitter]

No because they are usually used by people who I do not respect.

[maverick2022]

No modern girls take pride in these words and in people hating them in general.

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

My girlfriend told me to write this, but it doesn't offend her because she is no feminist

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

The worst word is "nadia"

[Ninania]

Depends on the context and connotation.

[Asker]

So, these words have the potential to offend you?

[Ninania]

Any word said in I'll intent can offend me. It's more about the blaming and shaming than the actual words.

[Asker]

Personally, I would’ve thought that you wouldn’t be offended by these words no matter.

[Ninania]

Well you thought wrong. Words can very much hurt me.

[ColHathi]

@Ninania Well put.

[slxt_hxle69]

They make me so wet and horny

[Gaurav2]

Use those words During sex... she like it.

[lofii]

I love using those words

[NathanDavis]

juvenile BS...

[Smashingdoozy]

Not at all

[HeartFullOfGlue]

I'd need context
