So I'm 100% on board with most of what you said but... What on earth does 'bitch-made' mean? It's setting off my women-hating red flags.

I googled it and scrolled down and got some garbage about a man raised by women, so I have concerns.

I agree, I don't particularly care about shitting on Putin or any other world leader, it's the thinly veiled misogyny/whatever at 'enemies' broadly with people gleefully encouraging it which makes me respond negatively

Diva, we disagree on a lot of things, and we agree on others, which makes you (genuinely) so much fun for me to see in a thread.

I just told people on another thread that (because of my trauma background) I don't feel anger very often, which means I appreciate folks like you (and conversely, maybe, Rusty here) because I see you leap straight to it with abandon.

I guess what I'm saying is, it takes all kinds to make a world, and I'm glad you're in it.

Thank you, the feeling is mutual! 😊

Bitch-made, in the literal sense, as in "of ill birth from a mangy female dog".

I have heard it used in common street language where I'm from from both men and women, gay and straight.

I appreciate your vehemence and the vigor with which you make your point, and also agree with your point. I only had issue with that particular insult because in my culture, it does initially read as misogynist. I figured I'd ask if you meant it that way because you probably didn't.
