Sexism?

[Zeus35]

How do the women feel (men included to) when some men refer to women as "hoes" or "bitches" or even encourage cheating on women?

I know a person "social worker) who openely refers to women as this on his Facebook page which is public. Ie" those hoes deserved it ""bitches" this and "bitches that". The list goes on. He's not directly calling someone a bitch but referring to women collectively as bitches and hoes. He doesn't do it all the time. Just some times. I feel it's wrong.

That's not okay. It's immature and prejudiced.

I don't think much about people like that anymore. Lost and toxic. It's sad that's even slightly socially acceptable though.

depends on the context.
but the context you gave there, I would think that's just sad individual.

As a woman personally: it makes me quite angry but i ignore them. Their pathetic dull-witted creatures that don't deserve any attention. If one can't recognize their own species and even call them names prematurely then they're no smarter than a ant.

What is the point in using such terms?

Trying to degrade someone using said language does not work, and usually all it causes is one person to lose respect for the other, as well as tick them off in ways you would not expect, and it also starts other major kerfuffles in the relationship or friendship.

In the end, it is all fun and games until the roles are reversed and the opposite gender gets the same treatment they were used to doling out.

There are ways to make a point without resorting to such expressions and causing grief and unnecessary issues.

I think words have power depending on how they are used, so choose and use your words wisely.

That's odd to be doing publicly. Can't really understand unless it's a thing he was doing to be funny and then it stuck and he doesn't really think about it. There are people who use coarse language in public and that always catches me off-guard. It really is a lot of work minding all the ways in which you present to others.

I could see him not even having a problem with women and those are just the words he absorbed.
