Everyone has an asshole, it's a gender neutral term
Wait, when people call others body parts, some people are reducing that other person to just that part and don't mean it metaphorically? Does everyone else know that there's these two ways of interpreting those insults? Why wasn't I taught this in school?
It makes the interpretation of some of those as sexist make some sense, though I've always seen each of them going along with a vague set of behaviors/traits.
Like a dick is aggressively cocky.
A pussy is a coward.
An asshole makes things shitty.
A cunt is an aggressive asshole that goes out of their way to ruin things.
An ass makes a fool of themselves.
A bitch makes their problems everyone else's problem. Not a body part, I know, but another one that gets called sexist.
I've always seen all of these as something someone of either gender can be.
Good point, don't take it seriously though. It's simply my opinion that being called a cunt is a feminine privilege. I just think it should be reserved for The Layyydeeez. It's a "safe space", IF YOU WILL.
