Like A Woman: Misogynist Hate Speech
If the level of misogynist hate speech rampant in the English language is any indication, males must think there could be nothing worse in this world than to be "like a woman." In fact, men seem to measure their manhood by how far away from the feminine they can make themselves appear.
The paucity of gender-based words degrading non-female or macho asshole behavior is striking. Yes, there's dick, prick, dickhead, asshole, jackass, jerkoff, pig, fucker - but not much else. And unlike the misogynist words listed below, none of these words are ever used to degrade the same unacceptable behavior in women. Think about it: Would you ever call a woman an asshole instead of a bitch?
In reality, women are essential. The further away from "like a woman" a man tries to render himself, the closer he gets to nothing. In fact, the US military is full of men trying to prove they aren't like women. And many of them are dying for it.
Maybe that's justice.
