| Topic | It's been brought to my attention that "female" is a slur. Since when? |
| MrToothHasYou 09/30/20 10:13:55 PM #75: | I havent seen this addressed yet so I will offer an explanation of where the aversion comes from: females has become a minced oath, particularly by MRA/redpill/incel and hip-hop communities. What is a minced oath you ask? Its when you take a word for phrase that is a curse/swear word, and censor it with either similar sounding or similar meaning words so as to either hide the curse or avoid offense. Some common examples would be gosh darn for goddamn, for crying out loud instead of for Christs sake, or fudge in place of fuck. Females, in the context that has been used by MRA dipshits or misogynist rappers, is used as a minced oath for bitches. When and why did this happen? I dont know, my guess is it stems partly from the disregard females, acquire currency meme where females is directly translated from bitches in the original rap lyric. Bottom line is, its not always a slur, but it definitely can be and is sometimes used as one. Context is key, as always. --- http://weareontherun.bandcamp.com ^^^^^ HEY! ^^^ LISTEN! ^^^^^ ...
