Why do you care that I call it an organ, not an area consisting of a few organs?

If you are going to be an arrogant grammar nazi and pretend it makes you smarter and better than someone, you better make sure you don't say incredibly stupid shit afterwards.

And I care because i'm not like a lot of people here who are in the habit of misrepresenting reality and manipulating stats and language to suit their own agenda. I like facts, data and correct definitions.

There's such a thing called reclaiming words. Look it up. I'm reclaiming "pussy". It may have been a pejorative, but is being brought back into acceptable usage.

Not only is reclaiming words incredibly stupid and pointless, because you are just giving assholes free reign in using it, but you don't have the right to reclaim words in name of half the population.

You want to say pussy? You will be judged and looked down at by women , deal with it.

incredibly stupid shit afterwards.

I've already corrected the wording in the comment.

But if replacing "area" with "organ" gets your knickers in a twist, you need therapy. You want to play this word game? I'll play the word game.

Definition of organ: a part of an organism which is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function.

Vulva serves a function and is self-contained. Technically, it is an organ. To take it further, vulva consists of multiple organs. It is "organs", in plural. Not "organ". There. Oh, and here's a woman, a doctor, calling vulva "organs": https://www.news-medical.net/health/What-is-the-Vulva.aspx

The vulva is the external genital organs ...

Apparently, "that's not a woman, a woman should know better uwu"? Of course not. Get off your high horse.

You were the one who first told me to "eat a bowl of alphabet soup, you might actually learn something".

My "eat a grammar manual" was to counter that.

No word is inherently "bad", "offensive" or "derogatory". If I see the word "pussy" as a positive or neutral word, then it is a positive or neutral word.

Not to mention language changes and evolves, usually to the point that the new meaning of a word would be radically different from the original usage.

Take the word "fun". Fun was first a verb meaning "to cheat". It came from fon, an old word for "fool". It retains some of that sense in "make fun of", but now also means "a good time".

Your "reclaiming words is stupid" goes against the evolution of language. One day, the word "pussy" would stop being derogatory, just like other words stopped having "negative" connotations.

I'm not waiting 10 years for that to happen. I'm doing that now, reclaiming the word and giving it a positive connotation, because frankly, I do not get offended when someone calls me a "pussy". Doesn't matter if it's an insult. I wouldn't feel insulted by the word.

You know what's incredibly stupid and pointless? You telling us women what we should be offended by.

You want to say pussy? You will be judged and looked down at by women , deal with it.

I would like to hear from other women.

Are you a woman? No? Then zip it.

If someone calls you a pussy you should be offended as fuck as a woman, because not only are they calling you a coward by using a derogatory slur for women's anatomy, it also implies that being a woman is an insult because they see women as less than a man.

If you are born with a penis you're not a woman and never will be. I am a woman.

I'm not born with a penis. I know "trans women" are men and "trans men" are women. You don't need to teach me biology 101.

Do you understand that words are not inherently "derogatory"?

If you don't see a word as something negative, it stops being "offensive".

I'm a lesbian. Sometimes people use the word "gay" as an insult. "Omg that's so gay", by which they mean "it's weird" and "it's gross". Does that mean I shouldn't use the word gay? No. I reclaim it. Are black people "stupid" for reclaiming the N word? No. It's racist of you to think their reclaiming of the word is "stupid".

Words that describe us, and our anatomy should not have negative connotations.

"Pussy" refers to our anatomy. Why do you allow people to use it as a slur? To define it as "coward"? All you're doing is send the misogynistic message you want to avoid. Give the word a positive connotation. Be brave enough so the word does not break you, and stop feeling offended. That's what TQ+ do, always feeling offended. I've met TQ+ that think the word "woman" is offensive. That's what you sound like. Are you going to stop using the word "woman"? I hope not.
