None of which carry the same sexist history or impact. Why is invoking sexism warranted and why is it more important to you than making lemmy a less sexist space?

    Yes, because that was an incredible dumb thing to say...

    She's not here, I am not protecting her, I am saying you're being sexist and I asked why it's more important to you that you insult someone that will never see it in ways that can hurt those that will and you said I am protecting her.

    Seems you don't want to answer the question. Why is is it important to you to be sexist in insulting this woman?

    The thing is, I don't consider it sexism to call her a stupid bitch.
    Your personal view on that matter differs from mine. Well then.

    Why is this insult more important to you than making an environment that would make many women uncomfortable and find sexist?

    Did you read my comment?

    P.S.
    I think you wanted to write "less women"instead of "many women"

    I did. I am saying you feel that you using this specific insult is more important to you than the downside of making an environment that many women feel is uncomfortable and sexist. I don't care if you personally find it sexist or not.

    I don't care if you personally find it sexist or not.

    Why should I care that you find it sexist?

    I guess I would have to cite Mr. Rogers et al. on the benefits of basic kindness towards your fellow humans. Would you say the same for the N word?

    Regardless of my personal take on why this stood out as particularly sexist, why is this particular insult so important that it's worth being hurtful to those it might more meaningfully impact?

    being hurtful to those it might more meaningfully impact?

    The thing is: I don't believe you that calling a tiktok zombie from the video a stupid bitch is hurtful to women.

    My personal opinion doesn't matter to you, your doesn't matter to me.

    Do you recognize that many women would see it as unnecessarily sexist? That you could have just as easily used any similar ungendered insult and not hurt those that find it makes them uncomfortable?

    I didn't start this saying you or the comment were sexist, I started letting you know some folks might feel hurt by it. With this constant defense the question continues to be, why is it more important to you specifically that you use this specific insult even if others are bothered by it?

    Like genuinely, why doesn't it matter to you that it hurts other people's feelings? And why is it so important that you say it on a public forum?
