re: #130 Obdicut

That makes it only similar to bitch, then. And I think the word ‘shrieking’ does that, while the word harpy, to me, connotes a woman who is evil, takes pleasure in the misfortune of others, etc. It definitely is female-gendered, but that doesn’t make it misogynistic on its own, unless you think all gendered words are misogynistic.

Did you miss the bit about the word ‘see’?

I did, well, see what you said about the word ‘see’ and, to be quite honest, I feel like you’re being a bit absurd. The term ‘see’ does not carry the cultural baggage of these other terms. While I want to avoid being ableist, there’s a certain point where I need to draw the line. ‘See’ is simply not grounded in any sort disdain or negative feeling towards blind people.
