Teaching not to use misogynist swear words

vendredi 28 janvier 2022 à 23:49

A man in India is trying to teach people not to swear at people using misogynist words.

I agree with the man's goal. I don't like attacking people based on their race or sex, and I never do that, because I don't associate rage or frustration with demographic groups. I fortunately escaped being taught that bad habit.

However, the law that prohibits all swear words (misogynist or not) is unjust -- fucking evil censorship.

*Reparations to the Caribbean could break the cycle of corruption – and China’s grip.*
