> are you as, what i assume is in an intelligent person, arguing that you think pansy is consider a slur by fewer people than stupid? How did you come to that? I have no idea of the numbers. Though I'd probably counter-intuitively vote for stupid anyway since it seems to be in more use and I rarely see 'pansy' on forums such as youtube where insulting remarks happen all the time. I wouldn't put a high wager on my vote though. Anyway, consider a short parable. "So MC Bob, can you explain to us why you write such sexist lines such as 'All you pussies get out of my way, I'm pushing all you down 'cause you're gay'?" "What?" "Pussy. Is there something wrong with a vagina, or having one?" "...Hell no, pussies are great, that's why my last album was exclusively about getting good pussy!" "So you're not being demeaning to women?" "No! I suppose 'pussy' is like 'gay' in that sentence, they're both meant to be taken as insults but are by themselves very meaningless. When I was growing up in Utah, everyone would gasp if you even quoted a swearword, let alone used one in an insulting fashion! It was the taboo of the word that made them offensive rather than any meaning behind the word, and it's like that in many rap songs today. Eminem's not a homophobe, there's just a lot of things that rhyme with faggot or gay or homo."
