Why are fools and cowards...

...given synonyms relating to female body parts?

It strikes me as quite sexist. A woman's breasts are not foolish, nor is her vagina a thing of cowardice.


Nothing particular--at least on DU--just consciousness raising.

But should male genitalia also be considered a thing of ridicule?

CAlling someone any synonym for genitals of either gender is pretty unpleasant all the way around.

Have you ever heard anyone complemented thusly?: "THat Steve. What a gigantic dick! Everyone wants to be around that cock when he's jizzing off like a madman! I sure wish I could be more like that pecker! He's just bollocks!"

In any language on earth, swear words always revolve around two different things: sex and elimination.

Maudit tabarnac sacrament calice. En ostie.

Damn tabernacle sacrament chalice. With a side of host.


I actually prefer some of the French swear words. They're multi-syllable, so a lot of meaning can be transmitted in how you modulate them.

Ta-bar-....NAC!

d'oh!

:evilgrin:

It's not like I can think of calling anyone any name given to either gender's genitals complimentary.

REally there is sexism in this world. No need to make things that are pretty insulting to everyone sexist.

A jerk can also be an asshole...

no sex discrimination there...

French curse words are strangely mostly religious in nature.

It's a quirk of the language, coupled with cultural misogyny.

In any case, I stand corrected.

We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!

OK, my guess...

you're a dick. (also, dickhead, dickweed, dickhole)
you pussy.
what an asshole you are.
Ass. (not the donkey variety, but the asswipe type - probably related to asshole).
you are acting like a boob.
He's a nut (okay, but I think its ambiguous).

So why should males be denigrated?

Nobody should be denigrated for who or what they are.
