    You don’t think I in intended the term to be an insult in that context? I’d say you’re wrong and you haven’t been listening.

      So then you just need to look inward to see why you’re comfortable using a word that makes you bigoted, and you’ll have your answer.

        I’m not comfortable using it, that’s my whole goddamn point. Do you really think that was a gotcha? I’ve been talking about how it’s not possible to use it without it being an insult, it is by definition insulting. It’s the same thing as dropping the hard r. I can use it as an example or in a quote during a discussion and still find it reprehensible because it’s never not insulting and it’s certainly not the same as using it in the context of is intended for.

        Is your argument so bad you had to resort to this weird gotcha attempt?

          I mean, you’ve used it soooo many times in this exchange now. You must be a mega-bigot by this point.

          How can you even live with yourself?

            Yes in a discussion about the word I might have to use it a time or two. Go figure.

            Ah so ad hominem instead of an argument.

            I guess we answered how weak your argument was.

              It’s an ad-hominem to follow your logic in which you claim that you are now a bigot as a result of this conversation?

              Or is it just that your reasoning is beyond goofy?

                It’s as hominem to abandon your position and instead insult me, especially after this dumb attempt at a gotcha that is you haven’t figured out also means you agree it’s a sexist slur. So I dunno, good job there genius.

                  What position have I abandoned? I’ve simply followed your logic that says anyone who uses the word “manspain” in any context is a bigot.

                  Show me the inconsistency.

                    You doesn’t respond to a single one, you insulted me that’s called abandoninga position to attack me instead ie: ad hominem.

                    Nope not at all. I said it’s a bigoted word and if you use it as it’s intended you’re a bigot. This isn’t difficult.

                    Show me the inconsistency.

                    All the parts you’re intentionally ignoring to make your dipshit gotcha point.
