One's allowed to say ANYTHING about a woman one would say about a man, provided it addresses her actions or character, things she's responsible for, rather than her gender, which she's not.
Like race, gender is a Condition of Birth. If we criticize a Black person, we don't call them the 'N word' do we? No. Similarly, if we dislike a Gay person, we don't call them the 'F word'.. The same principle applies to women.
If we don't like a woman's words or actions, we're free to call them "creeps", "idiots", or any other gender neutral insult.. We do NOT call them "bitches" "cunts" or any of the innumerable gender slurs to which women are subjected.
