They sexualized Greta Thunberg. It’s not just brown women it’s every woman that deviates from their beauty standard.
Please it could be a blonde haired blue eyed aryan goddess and they would just call her a whore and find something else to make fun of her over.
It’s low hanging fruit. They have nothing against her so the best they can do is call her a whore.
That’s their best material. It’s all they got. Anything else would require imagination and a certain level of intelligence.
It's kinda funny because the insult itself is actually an appeal to their male insecurity because they can't handle the idea of a woman doing anything with other guys or even just being attracted to them, hence their strong negative association with those words.
Like not really "haha" funny but "using that insult says more about you than it does the target of the insult" funny.
Younger me was confused about "slut" being an insult because "slut" sounds way more fun than "prude".
I feel the same way about the insult "cocksucker." How is that a bad thing?
It's how my boyfriend refers to me. Terms of endearment.
