There are some words one just cannot use without spitting misogyny. The moment I hear them, I think, “Tell me you’re a misogynist without telling me you’re a misogynist.”

Of course, the obvious ones like “bitch,” “femoid,” and “whore” don’t require any elaboration. However, there are other, more insidious words that serve as dog whistles for misogyny.

Men who use these words hate women. Women who use these words hate themselves.

Simp

The language of the manosphere is rife with misogyny, and nothing screams “I hate women” louder than using the slang of the incel.

One of the most common words to come out of the hideous online cesspool known as inceldom is the word “simp.” In incel culture, simps are weak men who can’t “pull” women. So these men offer attention and affection to any woman who comes along without getting anything in return.

More and more, simping is becoming a term for men treating women like human beings. Any man who recognizes that he owes women basic respect and human dignity and that he is not, in fact, entitled to sex in return is now a simp (or, alternately, a “cuck”).
