    Its use is always misogynistic when used this way. The B slur when applied to women likens them to a dog and when used for men or nonbinary people likens them to a woman and thus a dog. So, no, it’s always misogynistic.

    We should do better than stooping to their level and prove them correct about us, that we hate women, even if we are women (but they don’t see us as that thus proving their point). The B slur is only reclaimable if it’s only ever used positively ioo.

      Good point about reclamation. Also about trans women representing women. Just the whole thing really. Sorry I know that’s what upvote button is for but this was very good.
