    So I’m 100% on board with most of what you said but… What on earth does ‘bitch-made’ mean? It’s setting off my women-hating red flags.

    I googled it and scrolled down and got some garbage about a man raised by women, so I have concerns.

      Bitch-made, in the literal sense, as in “of ill birth from a mangy female dog”.

      I have heard it used in common street language where I’m from from both men and women, gay and straight.

        I appreciate your vehemence and the vigor with which you make your point, and also agree with your point. I only had issue with that particular insult because in my culture, it does initially read as misogynist. I figured I’d ask if you meant it that way because you probably didn’t.

      I agree, I don’t particularly care about shitting on Putin or any other world leader, it’s the thinly veiled misogyny/whatever at ‘enemies’ broadly with people gleefully encouraging it which makes me respond negatively

        Diva, we disagree on a lot of things, and we agree on others, which makes you (genuinely) so much fun for me to see in a thread.

        I just told people on another thread that (because of my trauma background) I don’t feel anger very often, which means I appreciate folks like you (and conversely, maybe, Rusty here) because I see you leap straight to it with abandon.

        I guess what I’m saying is, it takes all kinds to make a world, and I’m glad you’re in it.
