    Never really thought of it as a slur. Like a general-purpose slur against women? I don’t really agree, it’s in common parlance, at least in my area. I’ve never found it offensive, personally. Generally when people I know use it, it’s meant in a positive, I guess you could say “reclaimed” fashion. Plus, there are much worse slurs that are not censored.

        not sure how to test this without just publicly posting a big list of slurs lol. Anyway, it’s just odd to me since I don’t consider bitсһ a slur. It’s on the exact same level of rudeness as bastard.

          It’s not about rudeness, it’s about women being a repressed minority and so by definition the words used to denigrate them are slurs.

            Ah, I see. Still, I’d remove it from the list; it doesn’t really strike me as the same kind of thing at all. Kinda ridiculous to put it on the same level as like, actual slurs.
