Classic “snowflake” inability to deal with reality. If the truth hurts -— step away from the thesaurus.

Somebody should explain to her what a thesaurus is.

Don’t get caught up in wordage. The thesaurus reflects what has been the cultural norm. I suppose that means she wants to revise history and pretend these were never common terms.
Note: The reference to Male Adjectives; As far as I know, “Bird” is a british term used to describe women, young attractive women in particular, NOT men. I’ve never heard it used that way.

What part of “it doesn’t matter” don’t these people get?

Thanks for posting. I had a good laugh, imagining Heather’s snowflake rage.

Re: "Broad"

If "broad" is good enough for Sinatra, it should be good enough for the rest of us. Embrace this term of endearment.

In the meantime: Refridge. Beer. Sammich. Thanks.

Curious that someone that interested in etymology failed to recall that originally the word "bimbo" referred to a male gangster, not a female. Oddly, the same thing is true of "bird", originally a reference to a male and now, at least in British slang, to a female. Placing some sort of sinister cosmic portent on the thing strikes me as a bit of an overreaction, but that's the history - sorry, "herstory" - of feminism...

This being the Internet age, I'm offended they don't include variant spellings, like bayb.

Remember when we all looked up the word b**** only to find it did indeed mean female dog.

What a disappointment for a 10 year old.

Under "broad," you get "babe, bimbo, chick, dame, dish, doll, doxy, female, floozy, gal, girl, honey, lady, lassie, miss, moll, skirt, sweet thing, tootsie."

You need a better thesaurus, this one left out wench, bitch, slut and vixen.

It’s not about a thesaurus or about being offended... It has everything to do with agenda, and trying to push their viewpoint on every aspect of society.

When I go to the thesaurus, it’s because I’m writing something (or doing a crossword puzzle) and want to see as much variety as possible. I do NOT want my thesaurus to be niggardly in choosing their synonyms.

Does this person not know the difference between a thesaurus and a dictionary?

Once we replace filthy sexist English with good clean NewSpeak, all these kinds of problems will vanish.

From the musical "South Pacific:"

"Where she's narrow she's as narrow as an arrow, and she's broad where a broad should be broad."
