interesting that you flipped the comparative metaphor to a positive one. Why didn’t you chose a “funny tweet” that’s derogatory? Do they have different connotations and thus are treated differently when discussing issues of discriminatory behaviour?
sure man, lets just play pretend that the popularly understood interpretation of a thing is not what’s being implied. I think you’re a bitch… waitwaitwait, I mean that in a positive way, like how bitches are motherly and loyal dogs. Isn’t that what people mean when they say that?
I wasn’t namecalling, I was just comparing you to an animal.
Isn’t that exactly what was being said by OP? If you interpreted it as insulting or crossing the line, then that’s your misunderstanding. I mean, I think being compared to an orange cat a bitch is generally positive.
you are, but not because of that. But because of the lengths you’re willing to go to continue to justify your sexism. Thanks for finally admitting it though. We’ve made great progress today.
I don’t know how to make this not sound like some kind of personal attack but I’m going to try. There was a lot you said, I wanna focus on the “calling someone a bitch, but actually I just meant that as a term for an animal” part.
Yes. The word “bitch” can refer to a female dog. That is true. That hasn’t been the way people use the word for the last like 500 years tho. It’s meant to be an insult.
Imagine if I called you a “fucking bastard”. And when you tried calling me out for it my response was "Actually I was calling you an illegitimate heir to a kingdom, duh, you’re the one who’s bad for thinking i meant it as an insult. "
You don’t have to respond. Let it marinate for a minute. I’m not trying to “win”. I can see why you saw it as sexist. Orange cat = bad. Men = orange cat. Therefore men = bad. I just wonder how quickly that conclusion was arrived at.

Come on, name calling is crossing the line and you know it.
Lol
“I like cats”
“You Fucking Bitch!”

I like that the title implies this was posted by a man. But this guy saw a feminine profile pic and just had to start calling people bitches. 😬

an orange cata bitch is generally positive.If you think being compared to an orange cat is the same as being called a bitch, we have absolutely nothing left to discuss.
I don’t think you had anything to discuss to begin with. You just wanted to defend sexist bullshit and be a contrarian when it fits your fancy.
Lol, your level projection could be used to improve imax technology.

If this is sexist, then by all means I am sexist.

Complete misreading of the situation tbh.

Wow. You’re terrible at arguments.
Thanks for the input. Real constructive stuff, really added to the conversation.
No problem.
