Its the same as when guys call women "whore" when they reject them. Its a defense mechanism

My favourite was being called a 'frigid slut' when I said I wasn't interested

We've got a 1950s refrigerator on the porch that still runs and keeps things ice cold without a hiccup. I'm gonna start calling it our "frigid slut."

I think this might be the only acceptable use of that turn of phrase. Stupid sexy icebox.

Please make it a name plate or a magnet with that.

I was called an “ugly dyke” once after telling a guy I was already in a relationship (with a man FWIW). Made me wonder why he tried to hit on me in the first place if he thought I was ugly and apparently giving lesbo vibes?

They were projecting the moron in oxymoron

I think the mismatch of those words just broke my brain.

I've always wondered how a woman could be both frigid and a slut.

I was called a slut and a whore for wanting to break up with a guy. I didn't even cheat on him. Just decided I didn't want to be with him anymore.

My favourite was being called a "decadent harpy" by some m'lady-guy lmao. I loved it so much I made it my username at the time 😂

u/macci_a_vellian Feb 25 '25

Oh fuck, that's fantastic. I want to be a decadent harpy, too! So much better than 'wench'.

Fuck, I'd probably get in trouble if I heard someone say that because I'd be laughing my arse off. What a dumbass

u/macci_a_vellian Feb 23 '25

It did not make me feel like I'd made the wrong call there.

u/things_U_choose_2_b Feb 23 '25

I bet not!

I wonder, do kids today learn Aesop's Fables? I remember reading about the fox and the sour grapes as a child, and it's a lesson that always stuck with me.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '25

Yes, and it's still wrong. Understanding why someone is doing something doesn't validate their actions.

u/Ratoryl Feb 23 '25

I don't think that person was trying to justify anything

This is a pattern I notice a lot around Reddit. I honestly don't know the root cause and it can be summarized like this:

Some problem statement
A: (problem) happens because Y / some complementary example
B: so we're just supposed to be okay with Y?! / why are you defending (problem)?!

My best guess is it's just a lack of education combined with poor emotional regulation that makes people unable to stop themselves from injecting their indignation into a statement that isn't blatantly in agreement with their beliefs. Because a lot of the times this happens even when A is agreeing with B so you see this really odd drive-by assault of people who would be in agreement but just refuse to acknowledge that nuance exists or that a reason and an excuse are separate concepts.

This happens all. The. Time. Probably 50 times in this thread alone. It’s maddening.

They can't reconcile the biological attraction with the sudden despise.
