Sexist, Racist, Homophobic phrases (Too heavy for Friday morning)

saps [Edit] [Delete] 10:04, 24 October '14

Things we say that reinforce oppression (however slightly) without our even considering them.

There's thousands obvs.

One occurred to me this morning, from another thread. Saying something 'sucks dick' as a perjorative.

Anyone else think that's pretty weird? Given that men spend 90% of their time trying to get their dicks sucked (and that most *willing* givers also like doing it) it seems counter-intuitive to think of it as a negative.

Until you consider that gay men do it and there I guess lies the issue.
