    I wasn’t namecalling, I was just comparing you to an animal.

    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.

        Complete misreading of the situation tbh.

        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.
