          cracker was originally a term for load Irish people , then a term for poor farmers, then generally just white people.

          Unfortunately much like the term “gringo” many of us take it as a term of endearment rather than an insult.

          All of that is why cracker isn’t as offensive of the n word.

          Likewise cunt isn’t as offensive as the n word either.

          Not really… How can it be mysogynistic if there is no difference among genders/sex? There is for “pussy”, because it only exists for the female organ, but not in this case. It may be tasteless in your opinion, but if the fact that it’s the female or the male organ doesn’t change the meaning, it is, by definition, not mysogynistic/sexist.

          Yeah that was really unnecessarily bitchy of me. I threw my back out the day I was posting this stuff and was at a pretty high peak of pain when I responded. I am sorry on that. My point is more that it seems to only be sexist in America as most other countries have just accepted it to be a default insult or term of endearment (Fuckin Australians… love 'em). I am just exhausted of Americans forcing their moral compass on the rest of the planet, especially as a Canadian. Like having a meth lab playing deafening music at 0400.

          Sidenote but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve heard that particular rhyming slang for Americans lol I forgot about it

      no it isnt, it like calling them a douchebag, and its not to one gender, cunt isnt to one gender unless your watching porn which is the female body part.
