There is really no good reason to call anyone these things, with the exception being a black person using nigger/nigga.  It's a reclaimed word, which is kind of a tricky thing to discuss.  Some white people think that because it has been reclaimed that they should be able to use it.  The thing with this is that originally the word was a way for white people to exert their power over black people.  By reclaiming it for themselves, black people have taken that power back.  White people trying to use it with this reasoning are just exerting their original power, which is doing the exact opposite.  This comes up a lot when people try to argue about why it's okay for black people to say it but not white people.

There is no debate, this is exactly why.  This is why you can't divorce the word faggot from its meaning and turn it into a general insult.  The REASON it's an insult is tied into its homophobic roots.  By calling someone (typically a man) gay or a faggot, you're telling them that they are lesser.  So, not only are you implying that gay people are subhuman, but you are ALSO reinforcing the homophobia of those hearing this insult.  The person being insulted is going to continue associating being called gay (and homosexuality in general) with being humiliated, everyone else is going to be reminded of the same thing with the potential threat that they'll be the next one called this.  The word bitch is used in the same way (making someone your bitch, someone acting like a little bitch, etc.), by implying that a man is something associated with women, you're implying he's subhuman while also reinforcing the idea that women are subhuman and you don't want to be like them.  That's why people arguing that these jokes are fine within your circle of friends that you know aren't offended by things isn't a good argument.  You're still reinforcing these ideas among people that you're supposed to LIKE and they're going to perpetuate it.  If you and a friend get comfortable calling each other fags, you're endlessly supporting hate speech between each other and you're likely to start using it elsewhere.  It's best and easiest that you just don't support hate speech at all.

Extremist are really just a hand full out there compared to the entire race of humans and to fully think about them maybe the nice way of thinking till look below the surface there views tainted and built up hate for a certain subject all you encouraging there hate and that they should be mad about anything and that I disagree with.

Like, I remember once faust was talking about how the kids in his class he was teaching use the word fag and gay all the time in misguided useage. He came to the conclusion that though what they were saying was in a way hurtful to him, he understood that for the most part that was not their intent. That they were just stupid kids not realizing or caring about what they were saying and so he "let it go" in a sense.

What I'm saying is that right there is the kind of person I'm talking about and if fucking faust of all people can do that then you should be more than capable.

I'm not saying "don't tell dday saying fag is dumb" I'm saying telling him once should give you the impression of whether its gonna matter to him or not. That post dday made after having been confronted about it is probably how dday is gonna feel unless he sees some shit for himself or grows up a little bit. But I like you dday and I like your young minded-ness. I don't really find it offensive but thats because I have to live with this shit every day which is why I'm trying to make the point I'm trying to make.
 
Also it is completely self-centered and shitty to say that because I'm a white straight male this shit doesn't effect me or I don't think about it. I do all the time and pretty much everytime I hear the words nigger, bitch, or faggot shit runs through my head. But I'm not gonna say I think about it more or less than you though cus I don't know you.

Saying a man is Mansplaining (being a man and talking about a important topic related to women's rights) is as sexist as saying a woman is just bitching (when they complain about the unfairness of society to women). I can understand saying 'mansplaining' as a "Here's a taste of your own medicine, dicks", but continual use is just lowering to the sexist asshole's level. Also, Farren isn't being a sexist dick so your ire is mis-targeted, fuckcrypt.

Like I can't fathom looking at the term 'mansplaining' as legitimate tool to fix gender relations (though I suppose that isn't its purpose?). Its just stokes the fire. If anything, its use is oddly a stereotypically sexist man response, 'insult and dismiss'.

I can understand 'talking down to women' as the definition of mansplaining. but then I really don't understand why stating ones point of view makes it seem like they are talking down to them. Other men talk/explain to me the same way, arguably, as have women.
