20+ years of this handle online without problems, and I found out trying to sign up for Stern Pinball Insider that "bint" is a dirty word: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bint

Really isn't, it's about the same as calling a woman a cow.

Wrong.

Usage varies, but "bint" more commonly is akin to "b*tch", and is used in a very coarse and derogatory manner.

Love how you're trying to justify degrees of acceptable misogynist terms, though /s

Um? Here in the UK it's uncommon to hear it these days but it carries no special weight.

How come you're unwilling to spell the word bitch?

Nah, it's not remotely uncommon, you must be in a very small bubble -- but that's quite apparent by your woefully inaccurate definition to begin with.

I'm not "unwilling" to, there's just no need to set off censors unnecessarily. Great job on the baseless assumption and false accusation though, really showing your intelligence and righteousness there /s

You yourself imply there are different degrees to how acceptable the two terms are.

Why else do you spell out one word but censor the other?

Yes, and your definition is by far the exception, not the rule. Maybe don't claim a definitive meaning when you're wrong to begin with.

One is much more likely to set off censors. Why do you feel the need to ask ridiculous questions? The word you use had already been said, censoring it would be meaningless -- whereas you ascertained the word I meant easily ;)

I’m not actually the first person you were talking to, so I didn’t give you any definition.

In fact, if you note, I’ve never actually used either word. I just refer to them obliquely.

"You yourself imply there are different degrees to how acceptable the two terms are."

I never claimed either were acceptable or unacceptable.

Interesting how you completely gloss over your needless language policing, especially when you - by your own admission -- haven't even used the terms in question (and presumably lack the nuance necessary to weigh in, despite jumping in anyway) shrug

> I never claimed either were acceptable or unacceptable

and

> Love how you're trying to justify degrees of acceptable misogynist terms

So you are not saying either are unacceptable, and you endorse 'acceptable' misogyny. So you are a misogynist, but an ok one.

Very well.

What the ever-loving fuck? I don't endorse ANY misogyny you utter melon, which was why I called you out on your "Really isn't, it's about the same as calling a woman a cow." nonsense.

The only one "endorsing" misogyny here is you. Stop projecting, pillock.

Unless you're equally vocal about the terms Dick, Prick, Cock and all the other male specific derogatory terms, then you're just a foolish and socially harmful bigot masquerading as an activist.

And I KNOW you are silent on those terms and use them frequently...

“I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!”
