Department of Public Works employee Eric Batman claims that having to see a Progress Pride flag flying outside the department’s Alhambra, California, headquarters during the month of June effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin” in conflict with his sincerely held Christian religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit filed in March by anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical nonprofit the Liberty Counsel.

    I haven’t associated bitch with gender, like, ever. Language evolves over time

      So you don’t think that the reason “bitch” is used to insult a man as being weak has anything to do with the fact that it’s a feminine slur?

        I’m not totally disagreeing, but I also can’t square it with the term “asshole”. What does the term for someone being mean have to do with the end of your digestive tract? Why do “cunt” and “pussy” have almost opposite meanings, and “cunt” being very similar to how we use “dick” or “asshole” to refer to a person?

          All of those holes and appendages have necessary function and can be fun to play with.

          Different terms for excrement is much better in my opinion.
