Wow! I've never seen a spider swatter before! I'm sure it must work much better than the ol' fly swatter, eh?

I kind of like the word, myself; it has a strong, deep, sturdy sound (Proto-Germanic?), rather Shakespearian, I think. I like it better than "pussy," anyway, sheesh...
Yeah, the whole language for women and for sex in general is problematic. And certainly when a man is putting down other men by giving them women's anatomy or attributes that's a big red flag, as a feminist and as a little bit gender-queer.
If it makes anyone feel any better, I'm quite liking Bernie Gunter/Philip Kerr's "plum." "Mouse" I'm more ambivalent about. I once met a men who liked "quim." (Derived from qwm which must be one of a very few english words without vowels. Derived from the Welsh for "valley.")
English has more words than any other language in the world. It's too bad that we don't have a better selection in this place.
For the record, crypt, I would definately not use that word toward a guy, It would not even cross my mind, and I have never personally heard it used as an insult for a guy. It really would not make sense, and a guy would not give a fuck, perhaps the term bitch for a guy would be more effective in that case. In my post I was using a general insult towards people, fuckhead, prick, or asshole would have worked just fine, and the insult was intended toward snarky PEOPLE in general not women.

Even If a man was offended with that insult because it is calling him a woman, I understand where they would be coming from. Men often take pride in their manhood, just as you women do of your womanhood. I would bet the average woman would be offended if someone told her she was manly and manly looking, especially if she took pride in her womanhood and sexuality

Also for the record, with you being a feminist, I personally feel that getting offended at the word "cunt", JUST because you are a woman, is in itself sexist. Had I posted prick, bastard, or dick, you would not have thought twice about it or mentioned it. Kinda oxymoronizes the idea of feminism, which I assume is equality among sexes, or am I wrong about this? Is the goal to achieve higher societal status over men?

I personally don't like to call people something that serves as a useful purpose just because they don't. So they are all fucktards.

I have a stubborn streak that hates certain kinds of nonsense. I think many have seen me rise to the bait. I've also found out that there are certain people on here that I will defend. I'm trying to detach from all that. I've seen that there are people here who don't like nonsense any better than I do, and often they make more cogent arguments than I do, so I hope it works out if I take a step back.
And yes, I love the "ignore" button. I have to watch out for my blood pressure.
