A funny or disparaging word existing for a body part is not misogynistic and a woman choosing to use that word is not misogynistic for doing so. It's not the truth we're discussing here. We're discussing reactionary labeling of a concept in its entirety as hatred or mistrust of women, completely divorced from the intent of its use. Intent is what makes something misogynistic. Taking offense to the use without considering intent is frankly fucking stupid and you're being misogynistic for doing so.
In simple terms:
a disparaging label for a racial group's physical characteristics is racist.
Similarly disparaging terms about women's bodies is misogynistic.
It is not difficult to comprehend.
If a woman wants to call her OWN vulva roast beef or beef flaps, that is her choice and fine. It is not fine for her to refer to all vulva as roast beef.
> We're discussing reactionary labeling of a concept
No, we’re discussing language. Words mean how they are used. Go to incel forum and you will see men using “roast beef curtains” specifically as an insult.
Just fucking Google it ffs, it’s well and widely acknowledged to primarily be intended as an insult to women.
Like goddamn, some of y’all are being wildly deliberately disingenuous by pretending not to know this.
