ORIGINAL: Apocalypso quote:
ORIGINAL: MadameMarque But those names you mentioned are actually reserved, in their most disdainful connotations, exclusively for females. There's no name you can call a male that can as effectively *(edit for typo) undercut and dismiss his power or authority, as the way that the word 'bitch' is intended to obliterate the personal power and authority of a female. It says, 'you're not supposed to have any power or authority or equal standing, in the first place.' The nearest equivalents for men are almost exclusively homophobic slurs, which is telling. You mean like "You're a cocksucker"? Does NOT work if the target is a gay man. LOL! I know that you mean when directed at a straight man. Just thought I'd throw this in.... Working in a high-tech field... Cute blond man and I were "discussing" a tech issue. Finally, I was able to prove him wrong. He said, "Fuck you, you cocksucker!" My response was, "You're the wrong flavor." Of course he thought that the flavor I meant was gender, but I really meant orientation. LOL!
