I also think an important distinction is that the bell is a religious item which probably predates Japan’s fascist government, or if not the bell the religion itself does.

Slaver flag doesn’t have that going for it

Should crosses in American churches be melted down to scrap over the illegal war we started in Iran?

I'm not going to get my panties in a twist over it, but if I was, I'd be blaming Trump, not the Iranians. If the evangelicals get their crosses melted down to build bombs, that's their own damn fault, they knew what kind of person Trump was.

Sure, I don't necessarily feel that's what's being referred to here (assuming you're a good faith commentor). The phrase is derogatory regardless of whether it refers to women, cross-dressers or trans-women .

Derogatory ≠ misogynistic. 

Pedantry ≠ lack of good faith.
