Well, another cowardly attack...

36. I was responding to your post, but perhaps we both misunderstood each other

I understood the context of your reply and I agree that the use of those words are both a slur and can be offensive. However, lots of words used on DU fall into that category and nobody has a problem with them because they aren't directed at anyone here. So the question becomes to whom should they be offensive to, and I think the answer is to those in which they were directed.

The argument you are employing against using those words may very well be a good one that I would not challenge, but that's not the argument that's being made elsewhere on this site. Their argument is the words are "misogynistic" (not sure how words can be misogynistic, but whatever). In other words their argument is that we can't use naughty words that describe female genitalia because of misogyny, which I find nonsensical and certainly not reasonable given that naughty words used to describe mail male genitalia aren't considered misandry.
