The term "bitch" ought to be considered more offensive than "fuck" or "shit", because -- or at least in the cases where -- it is used with sexist/misogynistic implications.

Eh, by that logic, "dick" should be considered as offensive as "cunt" - they both reduce the attacked to their genitalia.

Me: *clicks 720p60*
YouTube: Your connection is slow! Here, try 360p.
Me: No, I want 720p60.
YouTube: Ok.
YouTube: Wait, it's slow again! 360p is what you need.

I admit, now that Halloween is over, I'm ready to rush head-first into CHRISTMASTIME because that's when I will get to see AU again

which is why i use "jerk" and "prick" instead
1. i can get them past censors 2. neither of them are gendered terms

Ok maybe I'm 12 years old and all but are you saying "prick" couldn't be construed as a reference to genitalia?

Glennmagusharvey, I find it frustrating that people use sexually based swears at all. From what I can tell, a lot of sexual harassment involves inserting sexual ideas into a non-sexual context, like the workplace, where they are unwanted.
I understand that not everyone who uses such sexual or gendered swears intends to inject sexuality into a non-sexual context. Those types of curses are so common now that most people probably do not think much about their origin or why they might make some people uncomfortable. That said, I still feel like people should give some more thought to those issues and be more careful about the words they use.

Actually, it is more offensive in many places.
So, as far as I understand the deep history of english-language swears, from my extensive knowledge of all things obscene, back in the Medieval Era, religious swears like g's and h's and d's were the really bad ones; because the christian english-speakers of the Medieval Era believed in Christianity kinda like that one C.S. Lewis metaphor about the sun. But basically, they feared spiritual trouble a lot, so religious swears were the worst.
In the so-called Victorian Era (named after a the world's largest-scale drug dealer), English-speakers were terrified of the human body and bodily functions. All prudish and stuff. So religious swears weren't as bad, but crude body swears like s, a, f, and stuff were the worst.
And in the right-now era, English-speakers don't want to be racist or bigoted or stuff like that; which is why c, n, b, and those ones are the ones that people will be shocked by. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is Tv PG and uses religious swears all over the place and the commenters on, say, Mark Watches don't even notice. But there is one usage of b, and the commentators are really kinda "yeahhh, that's not an okay thing to say; even to a villainess who just killed off the guy you love and is trying to kill you".
(anyways, do NOT go to Markwatches. Place is full of viruses and stuff.)

I was thinking about house elves and then I realized

homestar's been talking with marbles in his mouth THIS ENTIRE TIME??????????
all this time Homestar was saying "murder" and not "mortal"?
WTF
1. i can get them past censors
2. neither of them are gendered terms
they really don't deserve any more recognition than that
IT'S 36 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND MY ROOM FEELS LIKE IT'S IN THE MID-20s
which i guess you could count as phallic but that's really just reaching
it's distractingly offensive, it makes me look sexist, i can't even use it half the time, and i don't always want to insult someone very strongly
