"it's tradition" has been used to justify all manner of horrible behavior. It's not the defense you think it is
I don't disagree with you but I still wonder how much culture should evolve spontaneously vs how much it should be intentionally sculpted/pruned
Culture is people - so people saying "this is wrong" is just as valid a part of shaping culture as people doing what they want.
That's a fair point
How prude are you to consider calling someone Son of a bitch "horrible behaviour". You all need to calm the fuck down with the morality policing.
Alright then shut up shit for brains go sit in a corner and suck your own ass dummy
Don't be a prude bitch sissy about it just shut up idiot
See, I feel insulted but not discriminated against
In Mexico and in many South American countries, Son of Bitch is only one meaning of the word. Another very popular meaning is "male whore." And the vast majority of male whores are either gay or service gay men. This is happening in Mexico, not in countries where it isn't used that way.
It's so prevalent that when you do a Spanish to English translation on Duck Duck Go, puto translates to "gay." On Google translate puto goes to "fucking," so there is no one definition for it. Puta has 10 different definitions listed, including hooker, slut, prostitute, tramp, and dyke... so it isn't a stretch to see why the masculine form of the word can mean male whore.
