What Is A Woman, Is It A Skirt?

Let’s let a woman ask the question just this once.

The object of much misogyny

Once upon a time, according to grandparents, a woman was called a “skirt.” Or a dame. Or a doll. Or a Ho. Or a filly. Or a toots. Or a bawd. Or a tramp.

Often, a female was classified as an object or animal.

There are more words that are derogatory for a woman than there are new galaxies in the new Jay Dub (JWST) infrared view. I can’t list them here without an encyclopedia nymphomania, so I will just say:

A woman is not a skirt.

We have zillions of terms for a woman, but few concrete definitions. Nowadays, we just call woman names, mostly starting with B. Birds, Beckys, Bushes, Bettys, Benjamins, Barbies, Biddys, Beavers, Broads, Bimbo, Butch, Banshee, Brassy, Bossy, Ball and chain, and Queen Bees.

Oh, and there’s B_____ , — people are voracious for this B word.

Thank gods for the gays, for along with them, we can now call people of all genders and sexes, all of these B words, but most are still for women. Except billionaire.

Not as many, but most C words are reserved for women, like cougar, or Contessa, or some body part that rarely is as ubiquitously…
