EVERYONE HERE NEEDS TO STOP BEING A PUSSY, SADDLE UP THAT DICK, AND GROW SOME BALLSSSSSSSSSS

OH YEAH BALLSSSSSSS


mmmmmmm just look at those balls. LOOK AT THEM YOU LITTLE SHITS

[FierceDeity]

Yeaa but I guess you could say stuff like "imma ride that dick" or "wreck that pussy" without it being negative

it's vulgar, yeah, but not wrong.

Idk why you're saying "but" when it sounds like you're agreeing with me

r u serious both of them amount to "you're weak like a GIRL!!1!1"

when's the last time you saw "dick" used to mean "you're mean like a guy?" And how often do people use the word "dick" toward people who aren't male to begin with??

Do you maybe see my point or

Lol yes I'm serious. And yeah I see your point, I just disagree with it wholeheartedly. Perhaps "having no balls" isn't exactly parallel, but "pussy" and "dick" are so goddamn similar. First of all, they're genitalia and whatnot. Second, honestly, argue subtext or microagressions all you want, but very few people are actually thinking "you're weak like a GIRLLLL" or "you're mean like a GUYYYYYY" when they say them. Yeah, I'm sure the negative connotation of "pussy" arose from that idea, but then again, so did the negative connotation of "dick". Because it is a preconception of men that they're more likely to be assholes oh wait sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone who chooses to utilize the asshole in the bedroom that's a totally respectable lifestyle choice and I am a horrible person douchebags wait no not to say that cleaning supplies for female genitalia are in any way negative but to be fair those are really counterproductive ladies you should stop using them MEAN, INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE, even if it's just a mild one (not to say that this is quite as bad as the preconception behind the usage of "pussy", but where do we draw the fucking line?). But a rare few are actually thinking about that when they say it because that's not how language works.

Personally, my train of thought for calling somebody a pussy is "Hey, I want to lightheartedly joke that this person is being somewhat cowardly (a meaning I don't actually intend, but am feigning the immaturity of intending, hence the joke, haha get it), but calling them a coward sounds a bit too archaic and serious, and calling them a chicken, weenie, scarety-cat or other variant just sounds too childish, and 'wimp' doesn't quite bear the weight that I want it to, so yeah, I'm gonna go with pussy".

Luckily, my line of thought for saying "dick" doesn't have to be so ridiculous, because nobody fucking complains about it, because who cares it's all about the intended meaning. Most kids nowadays learn the word before they even know what a literal pussy is, for fuck's sake. Not that I'm defending the vulgarity of kids screaming on xbox live, but I'm still a bit hesitant to charge them with perpetuating the patriarchy.

Here's the difference in the terms. If you're a pussy, you're being fucked with or you are a cat. If you're a dick, you're the one fucking with people, or your name is Richard.

One gives abuse and therefore implies in some position of power, the other receives it and implies either cowardliness or fragility. So these terms in the proper context could certainly be viewed as sexist, specifically towards females. But honestly, I don't give a shit.


This lesson in swearing is brought to you by balls. Big, round, wonderful balls.

Even then (and even if you did give a shit), I'd argue that it's not specifically toward females. More skewed against, sure, but I'm pretty sure being considered an aggressor is still a bad thing. This view of men can arguably be seen in child custody court rulings and the like (and no I'm not saying that this is nearly as bad as how women have it, because acknowledging a problem doesn't mean ceasing to acknowledge other problems). I feel like it's much less enforcing the patriarchy than it is observing it, which is why I'm not for us ceasing to use either word, but I really can't respect an argument against "pussy" if it's not accompanied by one against "dick", because they're really two sides of the same coin.

So do I! Clever, sexy and always self-deprecating. What more could you ask for?!

I was just about to post a sex-involving combeack, but I fear FierceDeity's wall of text how my post may actually debase the achievements of feminists over the past decades, so I am just gonna go with:

Yep.

Oh I feared you were going to say no so I had dinner and now I'm full.

Oh no, I use both regularly to describe the behavior of both men and women(is it seriously uncommon to call girls dicks? Because that needs fixing). I think both words are just way too playful to be taken all that seriously.
