There is nothing recent or strange about feminists wanting misogynistic slurs to be gone.

And there is also nothing wrong with the disabled people wanting ableist slurs to be gone either. I cannot expect them to be "for all women" when they can't even stop and think about some of the slurs they use or usage of mental disabilities as negative connotation.

And what are those? Because you are really vague about what slurs you are upset about and you seem to mix up insults and slurs. You also consider idiot a slur while it was a medical term CENTURIES ago and has evolved into just being an insult without any medical connotation or targeting a specific group of people which is what a slur is.

I refrained from commenting on this post but OP is tilting at windmills here and doesn't know what s/he wants.

How exactly? I just stated that I believe hipocrisy shouldn't be tolerated. If slurs are so bad then none of them should be said. Not some, not two or three, but all. Or all can be said. That's it. I had no problem with people using them, it's just the hipocrisy and act of policing other discriminatory language (but not ableist) that bugs me.

We talk about how TQ+ shouldn't use homo/biphobic slurs but we sit here and use mental disorders as ways to insult them (as i stated to some others, and thank god for moderators existing, you can go to the moderation log and see how some try to use autism as an insult for example if you go through it). You can go outside of this sub, and see people use retard or autism without being called out. But I'm the one who us tilting at windmills? Ugh.

Blah blah blah hypocrisy. Several people have asked you for specific references and you haven't delivered. Also, are you familiar with the etymological fallacy?
