If you're interested, though Battle of Troy is said to be because of Helen's beauty but both abductors of Helen, Theseus and Paris of Troy, were punished. Theseus abducted Helen and Peirithous tried to abduct Persephone from Hades in search of divine/ immortal wives. Both were captured and imprisoned on the two chairs of Lethe (forgetfulness) in Hades, to make them forget their sacrilegious act. Theseus was later rescued by Heracles. And ofcourse Paris was killed. So, the males also get their just punishment in these epics.

Yeah they do get their Punishment... But still... Its a woman who is considered to be the root cause of all this by many... Thats the sad part... 😡

Its just the way of looking of each person.....

You say all the derogatory words are used for woman..... I say all the beautiful words are also used for woman.... not for men.....

If u call a good looking guy getting attention of girls a stud, You will call a similar girl getting attention of a guy smart and gorgeous rather than whore..... yeah the other girls may call her wahtever out of jealousy 😉 .... but if she gets guys attention they wont call her with derogatory names for sure.....

Such articles are always meant to view it from one angle only and are targetted to one section of society.... glad to see it in DM for views from all the sections 😆

Now if you say in derrogation they are compared with ugly things, well they are also compared with the godesses and sunlight and moon and smell of the flowers.... Have you heard anyone saying that vishnu came in house on birth of a son.... but u hear saying laxmi came with a girl 😉

Try to view positive things of life you willl forget all the bad things.... once you forget them, you wont use them.... 😃

Unfortunately English language has been doctored enough to direct derogatory terms towards women... For insatnce... A womaniser is a Cassanova or playboy (Which is mind u enviable and fashionable) and a gal who attracts and enjoys male attention... Well... Shes a slut...Wht do u say abt tht?

1. Women should stop using derogatory terms for themselves.

2. it is an insult to animal species as well - the term dog / b**** being used for human is hurtful to male and female dogs given that they are known for their UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & LOYALTY.

3. bachelorette is the female conuterpart of bachelor - hot n' cewl and someone causing drool

4. HURRICANES- the names are predecided prior to season
The names follow alphabetical order with males & females alternating.. Check link above

5. CLASH is the soul of a story. If women are responsible for it, women are the soul! hah.. so women should ignore the men passing blame to women.

6. @ QWERTY!! wow, @ ur great closing statement. I am pleasantly shocked.. 😆😆


Too bad u lost ur stuff.... anyways glad to know naming of arent storms gender specific... 👏👏👏

Women Should stop using derogaroty terms for themselves... Agreed.... But then Modern English usages have been conditioned that way...

And yeah... Its insulting to think that the female of a dog isnt considered a loyal and loving creature while the male of the species is... In fact a couple of my friends insist that I dont call their pet Bitches as Bitches.... They should be referred to all Dogs...

Bachelorette isnt used half as much as bachelor is... Too bad...

Women are the soul... Well... maybe... but the irony here is that the Clashes are started by men... Fought by men and ended by men....

Women are getting the unnecessary credit for something they arent quite responsible for..!! 😆😕
