Fine. Call me a cock. But I think it's unnecessarily disrespectful to use a word that has such an anti-feminist history in a thread like this one.
Ladies, am I wrong? Has the word lost its power now through overuse or expanded usage, so that it's no longer considered a misogynist term?
Here's my reasoning: nobody that I've ever heard calls a woman a "dick." Many call both women and men a "cunt." The fact that the c-word refers to women, and is then applied perjoratively to men, implicitly shows a greater disrespect toward women than toward men. The same goes for calling men "bitches."
