        Because they’re both extremely misogynistic and also trying to argue against human anatomy.

          Do you also attack dictionaries for explaining offensive words? The person I’m talking to never used the term, they merely explained the meaning behind the number.

          What you are doing is shooting the messenger. Please target your outrage more carefully in future.

            They’re also the one straight up using the term, which is why I asked in the first place (that being I had no clue what it meant)

            If they use them in an obviously offensive way, yes.

            The person who gave the explanation is the same person who initially used it to mean offense. You can check the usernames to see exactly this.

            They’re an ass. There is no messenger.

            It’s a derogatory term used to dehumanize people. I call a prostitute a sex worker out of respect, but it’s entirely irrelevant to this conversation unless you’re just gonna go off on a completely different level of misogyny.

        No problem.

        And People probably don’t agree that of girls are 304’s, that’s why. Even though it was just an explanation, they still don’t agree with the naming, so it causes downvotes.

          Yeah, it’s probably shooting the messenger. Reminds me of once on Reddit where someone had asked a similar question and I’d replied with a sourced quote from the dictionary and got complaining replies and downvotes.

            People have nothing better to do… I find it funny actually that people dedicate that much time to online shouting matches lol
