Feisty, flounce and bossy: the words used to put women down
Emine Saner: Do you ever hear men described as ‘hysterical’? Do people say they ‘whine’ or ‘nag’? Thought not. Here are eight sexist words we’d like to never hear from again
www.theguardian.com
Male allies. A woman I follow was called "hysterical" on here today. The only person who stood up for her was another woman. Even when these terms are used by someone on your own side, you need to call it out. These centuries old mysoginist slurs need to stop. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Again with the "part year residents" cosplaying. There's one of them on a Brits living in Italy FB page I am a member of. They have seriously FA and are about to FO and are asking for solutions. The first comment of all actual residents is "part-year" doesn't exist. They are only fooling themselves.

"Lower grade" - the misogyny in that comment...
Emma Barnett is one of the BBC’s most senior and high-profile presenters (Woman’s Hour, Newsnight, later flagship political interviews). Farage calling her “lower grade” is:
•factually incorrect,
•demeaning rather than descriptive,
•clearly an insult
He’s despicable www.youtube.com/live/qwYO1HZ...
