Ever since I've deconstructed It's been something on my mind, I wonder if anyone feels the same? I know a lot of Nordic countries have high rates of atheism, or a mostly secular anyway, (a lot of them also rank high for happiest countries too, wonder why)

I'm not trying to imply these places are perfect utopia's, because I'm sure everywhere has their own set of problems but I honestly wouldn't mind starting a new life in somewhere like Sweden or Iceland for example, if it where possible.

I hate it especially whenever it's men that use these terms. It seems people only get mad whenever slurs are used only in the context of it can potentially hurt men's feelings. It's so prevalent everywhere, especially youtube that It's gotten to the point where I just flat out refuse to engage in most content made by men, because I can predict when it's coming, and I frankly just don't want to expose myself to it. Call me a crazy feminist I don't care. But I find it so frustrating how normalised it is to degrade women and girls in common dialogue, and no one calls anyone out for it. I don't care what context it's being used. If your a man and you think it's ok to call a woman a b*tch because she pissed you off, then that just tells me everything I need to know about how you view woman in general, and frankly I want nothing to do with you, you sexist pos. And being gay shouldn't give you a pass, looking at you James Charles.

And yes they are slurs, by definition, quote:

"A slur is an insulting, derogatory, or degrading remark, or an offensive word used to attack an individual or group. They are typically based on protected traits such as race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation"

Like I don't want people to loose their careers over it, of course not, but if it's so common to degrade women in everyday speech, then we shouldn't be surprised how it's so common to degrade them in other parts of society. I just wish more people where more mindful of that.
