Does using words like "bitch" and "pussy" make a woman a misogynist or anti feminist?

Question

I called someone a c you next Tuesday and someone told me to "check my misogyny!"

I kind of think it's because she's of an older generation. To me, using words like bitch, pussy, twat, etc doesn't mean you can't be a feminist. I just don't give those words the power that other women might.

Can you be a feminist while using words that men use to degrade women or the female anatomy?

If so, does the same apply to men who use words that are commonly used to degrade male anatomy?

Answer

I find it highly offensive when women call each other the "b" , "c" , or the " p" word. This is degrading and very misogynistic. I can't wrap my head around it why people use the c word to belittle someone. Why would any self respecting woman do that. If  I say things like that,
1. How can I expect men respect me with my body?
2. How can I stop verball sexism/misogyny?

Answer

Take a moment to consider what words men use most to degrade other men.

Answer

Well no ones going to come and revoke anyone else's feminist cards or anything, but we should deeply consider why we reduce other women to crude names for female genitalia when we want to insult them.

Answer

If used in the wrkng context anything can be degrading but saying those words doesn't define weather or not you support equality. Also there are just as many words used about males. They are often used in a different way but it's still something to think about

Answer

It goes both ways, if men want to 'degrade' me and call me a pussy? Fuck it, I'll call them a cunt. 
After all, feminism is about equality, right? 
Plus I don't even find it degrading. Sticks and stones.

Answer

I typically use twat...or twat-stain if I'm feeling feisty.
But I've also been known to call people(usually in traffic) dick-wiggles.

Answer

no but i think it makes you look like a serious low life if you're genuinely calling people that

Answer

Or you couldn't just not use any of those words and not worry about it. I don't know when it became ok to just throw those words about like they are offensive.

Answer

Meh, this is a bit subjective IMO. I've only ever called men "c*nts" and it's something I picked up living overseas. I don't call anyone "bitches" or "pussies" unless I'm joking around, and I intentionally avoid referring to women in particular as "bitches" when I'm upset.

Answer

I use all those words and it's definitely not because I'm anti-feminist.😂
