We are all guilty of this. Especially if you don't think so, you are.
I don't really think it's difficult to avoid ableism in our language.
Look at this cowbee, so easy for you but think of how hard being reasonable and empathetic is for bigoted assholes? In avoiding ableism you’ve become a participant!
i need to get into the habit of adding tags like these because i'm almost never serious and it never fails for someone to miss the sarcasm/snark each time i do it.
If a single word with no significant history attributes ableism to the person or people who use it, then perhaps you're the problem.
What are you alluding to?
Maybe the fact that you think the terms: dickriding, meatriding, dicksucking or cocksucking are somehow slurs?
Never said they were slurs, but that their usage as pejoratives is usually with homophobic and/or misogynistic undertones. The insulting part is usually the societal shame cast on women and gay men historically, as there's nothing actually wrong with liking dick.
Yeah, definitely no significant history to those...
I've had bigots use gender affirming insults and supportive people that are just the worst at gendered language, people suck and we're all just people.
Exactly. Just try to be better when you can.
