(30,356 posts)74. Can you show me where I've "split a hair" or
"drawn a false equivalence"?
Nah..I didn't think so. At this point, I believe you're just throwing around accusations and making unsubstantiated claims.
The word, "bitch", by the way, is LITERALLY dehumanizing, meaning as it does, 'female dog'.
Though it's clear to me that you consider racism to be much more "important" than misogyny -- After all, it includes men! -- there is, as I've shown, nothing to substantiate that view.
I'm out of here..Have a nice one.

I've called plenty shitty fucking males and shitstain men a "*itch" whereas I have yet to call a single female the same.
