I know I know I will catch hell dor using the word whore.

It gets me in trouble on here. But just like white trash, it is descriptive. I am white and have known them all my life. They may have had tough times, but they chose to be trash others didn't. And as for whores, the Trump kind chose that as well. They are not like whores for sex. I can respect them . I am sick of the Trump whores and he doesn't care about them either.

People, even those who consider themselves dyed in the wool Liberal Democrats, can be unaware how some of their language is considered by many to be racist.

But sexist language it seems will never die, it just evolves.

Call me an old fuck but I will never understand liberal, left wing people defending the term douchebag as an insult. Or even worse, douche nozzle. The first is weird and sexist enough - who and why was it decided that in the first place? But the second one goes from outside the woman to inside the vagina. Sounds very incel driven to me.

Why do young women use those words?

I don't use it anyway because douchebag as an insult is sexist and unimaginative, but that's an interesting thing for me to think about in terms of language. Thanks for bringing it up.
