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?
