  1. People don’t usually take me seriously or believe me when I say that the word b**** is a #sexist #slur

    It’s so normalized in today’s speech that most people wouldn’t say that they’re specifically thinking about #women when they use it…

    But take note – if you are somewhere social in a casual setting and there is a man/masculine person feeling pressured by women/feminine person(singular, plural, for any reason) I can almost guarantee you that they will use the B-word or start using it in that same situation. It’s the darndest thing, but I’ve noticed it multiple times now and I #cantunseethat

    It’s the same for other gendered insults like c***, p****, t***, w****

    Men/masculine people will intuitively use these #genderedslurs to assert their dominance in a situation if they feel intimidated by the women/feminine people around them…

    Even if our conscious minds don’t understand that these words are sexist slurs our bodies do. #anditshows
