Sounds like a dog whistle to me. If someone talked constantly about, say, "toxic women", would you really believe they were only talking about a subset?

- irrational 3y agoWell, people do talk about Karens, shrews, bitches, etc. which all seem to be different kinds of toxic women. Maybe there are just more named subsets for toxic women than for men?
- anon291 3y agoThere are academic articles on karens, shrews and bitches? You're claiming that the worst used in 4chan, reddit, and popular magazines carry the same societal weight as academic articles in policy and sociology journals. They don't.
- klipt 3y ago...isn't using the word "bitches" widely considered a dog whistle for hating all women? Seems like you're agreeing with me.
