That doesn't mean they shouldn't be used. The fuckyoukaren and childfree subs are two of the most essential online communities because those two demographics (antagonistic white women and parents) have flown under the radar for too goddamn long. They belong in the 2020-2021 Hall of Shame.

I'm generally against their use, but you do you I guess. Especially "breeder"-- that seems even more demeaning than "uterus haver" or "chestfeeding" and those are demeaning, too.

The term "breeder" is disgusting.

You are assuming that breeder refers to women.

I assumed no such thing. I drew two examples of language that both involved people distilling women down to their reproductive organs, but "breeder" could be used in a demeaning way towards men, too.

I just disagree about calling them "Karens," on account of many perfectly nice people out there named Karen. Call them AWW&P if you want.

My biology teacher is named Karen and she doesn't deserve this
