Is it just me or does anyone else have to fight the urge to be horribly misogynistic to these Trump worshippers? I always fall back to my gender-neutral profanity (such as "Trump's shit-guzzler") but I just feel a deep rooted desire to be as maximally offensive to and about MAGA cultists and enablers as humanly possible. I know it's lazy but I mean if anyone deserves to be insulted in the most extreme way possible it's these creatures.
It's fine, you can call her a cunt
Nah, she lacks the depth and warmth.
Call her a Nazi.
Unless you're Australian, then it might be seen as a term of endearment.
Its fine, just preface it with shit. Shit cunts are not thought of highly
The Aussie term for people like her is a fucking dog cunt.
I genuinely love Australian cursing.
Hilarious that you think the OP would label calling a woman a bitch or cunt as misogyny. He clearly means worse.
Some people believe using gender-specific insults over gender-indifferent insults implies hatred of that gender. I'm not one of them, but OP might've encountered some and thus has become more reluctant in his/her use of language
Why are you running interference for a self declared misogynist? Why are you making up hypotheticals for them?
Don't let them bring you down to their level. There's so many fun gender neutral insults.
I mean really, there's just so many.
or better yet, Shakespeare Insult Generator! https://www.librarieshawaii.org/learn/brain-games/bardly-barbs/
Oh thank you, I've been looking for that! For totally not Bardly DnD reasons...
DND with Shakespeare insults would be hilarious. My DM playing a single sound effect on his phone was enough to end the session for 5 minutes of laughs
All I have to say is Vicious Mockery is back on the menu,
Which of these words should I emphasise? Or would either work?
Oh either works.
Or both
If you must give up your values then you might as well give them up in exchange for something in return. In this case you get nothing in return which is why I too recommend using gender-neutral insults.
They're literal traitors to the United States of America that are attempting to dismantle its government, causing unimaginable suffering.
They deserve a lot more than being called mean names.
It's not mean names, it's engaging in the EXACT rhetoric that erodes rights in the first place. Look at Pearl Davis, she's been advocating for women to loss the right to vote - she's rightwing and you're AGREEING with her.
Nevermind that the VAST MAJORITY of women didn't vote for Trump. So engaging in misogyny which erodes and removes their rights actually helps Trump and makes you a Trumper in terms of effect.
Like why are you punishing all women for this unless you just simply hate women and wanted to do it in the first place? And you all act shocked about 4B movement lol
That doesn't sound too strange. Sometimes I want to use "f****t" as an insult, but I don't, because that would be homophobic and I'm not homophobic
I accidentally used cock sucker as an insult but I meant it in the billionaire-cock sucker, not the way it used to be used. There's nothing wrong with sucking dicks, but if you suck the dicks of billionaires then you're a problem. Still I recognize how it could have been taken and felt badly.
"bootlicker" seems to be the accepted term for people like that. But I can see how you would want an insult that's more vulgar.
They want you to lower yourself to their level. Wrestling pigs just gets you muddy. Please call them out though, it is important work.
Taking the high road has really been working out for us!
Might have our faces in the dirt but we can feel good about being the better person!
Sure, but being sexist or misogynistic doesn’t actually help us. Getting dirty and stooping low in political ways though, to save the country from an authoritarian nazi regime? Yes, please.
Nobody said anything about taking the high road...
You’re not going to be able to put them in their place better than they do for themselves already. Save the effort IMO.
Although, that being said… I have no issues with any kinda of ~~verbal~~ antagonism towards fascists. If a woman is a nazi, and we’re all saying it’s ok to punch nazis; is it ok to punch a nazi woman? I say yes.
Yes but you're doing the punching on the basis of them being a nazi, not of them being a woman
💯
Yeah but Nazis were also misogynists, and misogynistic speech IS Nazi speech. So engaging in gender fascism isn't really how we combat fascism. Op could talk about feminism with these women and be far more effective- but that would mean OP would have to learn about and support feminism and its clear he is against that.
Words have meanings you know… “gender fascism” is nonsensical.
Gender fascism isn't nonsensical. Demanding genders must be a certain way, gender determinism, is indeed policing gender in a way that enforces misogyny and cishet normativity. Gender fascism can be transphobia, misogyny, or a belief in a strict gender binary.
That's why Nazis, the Uber fascists, were also gender fascists.
They were also racial fascists. White supremacy is racial fascism.
What does any of this have to do with punching nazis?
Misogynists are gender fascists. Nazis are gender fascists. You can fight Nazis with feminism.
Actually, no, and I'm an arsehole. I guess I learned something about myself today.
Let your long repressed impulses run free
No, I don't actually feel a need to resort to something I find immoral to hurt others, this is horrible of you to say
But I've known that the misogyny is very prevalent on Lemmy, you all never needed the excuse of "MAGA" to be sexist in the first place.
Like what excuse would it take for you to start espousing feminist rhetoric? Have you EVER done so? Why wouldn't you just say feminist things to them, since that would literally be combating their viewpoints?
Really it just seems like you're kink roleplaying with them without any awareness.
