Either way I say the argument is strong. Sure, more work should be put into moving the gender divide by focusing on feminism. Helping the most vulnerable and oppressed helps everyone else experiencing issues from that oppression. But long term, if you’re saying that gendered slurs such as removed or removed are oppressive you must admit that terms such as dick are also gendered insults and -in good faith- should not be used.
As an ausie “bad words” in terms of non-gendered curse words is a bit of a silly and strange concept. Even the word removed (a word for the female genitals) hardly gets a blink. It’s also a very nice word to say. I would not say it’s gendered as being a removed has no gendered association, even though the word does come from gendered origin. But imo, let me know what you think
lol this is transparently bad-faith, stop trying so hard to be offended

I maintain my original sentiment towards the OP, but I do agree that’s really silly
