    Is it just me or does anyone else have to fight the urge to be horribly misogynistic to these Trump worshippers? I always fall back to my gender-neutral profanity (such as “Trump’s shit-guzzler”) but I just feel a deep rooted desire to be as maximally offensive to and about MAGA cultists and enablers as humanly possible. I know it’s lazy but I mean if anyone deserves to be insulted in the most extreme way possible it’s these creatures.

        Hilarious that you think the OP would label calling a woman a bitch or cunt as misogyny. He clearly means worse.

          Some people believe using gender-specific insults over gender-indifferent insults implies hatred of that gender. I’m not one of them, but OP might’ve encountered some and thus has become more reluctant in his/her use of language

            Why are you running interference for a self declared misogynist? Why are you making up hypotheticals for them?

      Don’t let them bring you down to their level. There’s so many fun gender neutral insults.

      If you must give up your values then you might as well give them up in exchange for something in return. In this case you get nothing in return which is why I too recommend using gender-neutral insults.

      They want you to lower yourself to their level. Wrestling pigs just gets you muddy. Please call them out though, it is important work.

      You’re not going to be able to put them in their place better than they do for themselves already. Save the effort IMO.

      Although, that being said… I have no issues with any kinda of verbal antagonism towards fascists. If a woman is a nazi, and we’re all saying it’s ok to punch nazis; is it ok to punch a nazi woman? I say yes.

      No, I don’t actually feel a need to resort to something I find immoral to hurt others, this is horrible of you to say

      But I’ve known that the misogyny is very prevalent on Lemmy, you all never needed the excuse of “MAGA” to be sexist in the first place.

      Like what excuse would it take for you to start espousing feminist rhetoric? Have you EVER done so? Why wouldn’t you just say feminist things to them, since that would literally be combating their viewpoints?

      Really it just seems like you’re kink roleplaying with them without any awareness.
