— I will point out it's also misogynistic using the word pussy as a slur.

Using the word "pussy" as a slur to refer to another man is typically defined as an act of toxic masculinity and misogyny. It leverages gendered language to demean and insult someone by equating them with perceived female characteristics, which are unjustly considered weak or inferior in this context. (1/2)

This usage perpetuates harmful stereotypes about both men and women. Such slurs can also be tied to homophobic attitudes, suggesting that deviation from traditional masculine behavior or characteristics is unacceptable. (2/2)
