Can you say that again without the misogyny?

I mean salesperson is gender neutral and stupid cunt is pretty gender neutral too, even if it originally referred to female genitalia. Somehow genitalia based insults have become gender neutral, or some of them at least.

Tbh, it's been a lot since the last time I called someone a "pussy". Because I think it's belittleling to women. But I frequently call people a "dick". Which is derogatory towards men and I shouldn't use it either. Turns out, slurs are created to offend people, who would've guessed

I can't count the times a neurotypical got offended on behalf of me. Those people also do a lot of belittleling. So much infantisation in fact, I would rather have them call me the r word. Or the times a christian got offended on behalf of me (back then when I was a muslim). It's annoying af
