ACAB is a common slogan, especially in anarchist spaces. Should we really be using it though? It is a reference to children born without their parents being married, and due to christian morality is seen as inherently negative. It is effectively a slur. Do we really think that trying to enforce the hierarchies we are trying to get away from on others is going to help us? How have we allowed this slogan to become so common?
As an anarchist I think we should be defending these people, not punishing them with the hope of some of that transferring to cops.
yeah I only use bitch and cunt to insult men these days. or inanimate objects.
interestingly, “vixen” used to be a similar insult to bitch. it’s a female fox, nowadays it implies a seductive quality but back in the day it meant the same thing as bitch
Yeah calling a woman a bitch just oozes extra sexism that calling a man that doesn’t. That’s definitely in slur territory as far as I am concerned.
it’s not even so much that it’s a slur, it’s just fucking lazy. if a woman is being an asshole, tell her she’s being an asshole. or a dick
