the first thread.

However, let us keep in mind that misandry (aka philogyny) is also prevalent on this site. It is just as wrong to call someone a "pr*ck" or a "d*ck" (however, I give some leeway when they are using those words to describe VP Cheney or the GOP candidates in 2012 like Santorum and Perry).

To avoid words that have such sexist connotations, I believe more appropriate words are terms like "sleazy" or "adulterer" which are more neutral and applicable to either. Hopefully people will make a greater effort to avoid the offensive terms and improve their vocabulary since some of the accounts have been flagged for review.
