Okay guess I'm outing myself but I feel like "b°tch" is a general cuss word no different to me than "d°ck" or "a$$h°le"
Now obviously I'm not a woman so I don't have the same relationship with the word. But spanish is my first language but "puto" and "puta" are used at men and woman respectively so I don't understand the misogynistic nature when used in English
I think the problem is it is treated as a general cuss word or insult, but so was the R word for decades. Do you think people should say that word? If not, why is a word that has its origins of being a sexist slur any different than an ableist one?
Normalization =/= morally right. Which is why I believe we all should try not to use it especially men.
I don’t speak Spanish so I cannot comment on spanish words.
Why wouldn't "b°tch" be in the same category as "d°ck"
Can't say I've used c*nt before other than mockingly in an Aussie accent to my bro's
Because dick is not a misogynistic insult primarily used towards women.
Edit: I will say I’m not the biggest fan of the word dick either but it’s completely different. Also mockingly using a slur is still using it

Thats just the translation of "b°tch" in Spanish with the a/o swapped for gender f/m respectively
Well the normalization of that word in any language I would disagree with.
