No we can't. This is the part where I politely call you a douchebag to prove a point. :)

- afarrell 11y agoDouching is medically harmful. A tool used to harm someone makes a perfectly fine insult. A part of the female anatomy, less so.
- bradjohnson 11y agoAre you fine with calling rude people dicks though?
- afarrell 11y agoNot really. It is similarly foolish.
- shawndumas 11y agoThere is a misogynistic quality to that particular word that connotations a disdain for women. I realize that it is utterly unintended on the part of GP but that should not prevent me from kindly asking for its disuse.
- ZoF 11y agoThere's a point at which this ends right? Like I completely agree with where you're coming from, but adhering to your particular worldview, what words can I use? Does jerk eventually become a taboo term as well? I realize this is contrived but I think it is a relevant question to ask. Where does this societal need for political correctness fall apart? Why do I have to go around trying to not be crass at every single turning point? If I'm always trying to be completely inoffensive how can I possibly hope to make meaningful statements when so many of those statements are reliant on offensive ideas??!?! I want to be a good person m8. I'd also like to be genuine. What if I'm genuinely offensive? Seek to make changes in my nature I guess?
- adventured 11y agoNo, it does not ever end, that's the whole point. If words to blacklist or be offended by ran out, new ones would need to be invented to keep the fervor alive. There is now a large culture built on being offended all the time.
- shawndumas 11y agoI guess in answering your excellent question I can only think to ask another question: Do you use the N word?
