re: #125 Simply Sarah

As for harpy, I see it in light similar to bitch or s**t or w***e. It seems to play on the sexist concept in our culture which holds women and being shrill, loud, obnoxious, and, you know, shrieking

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’?
