How do you abuse a man?

I guess that's assuming that all people are insulted by these over-used names. I know many who are, but I also know that should someone call me a sl*t, I'm not insulted because I know that I'm *not* and therefore can't take the uninformed cheap shot to heart. To really insult someone I think that we need to know them, or know something about them. For example, my father wouldn't flinch at any ordinary "insult", you could call him a mothereffer, "c", ahole and all the rest, but the only thing that would cut him deep would be being called: "stupid" or an "idiot". It's personal and it's harsh because being of "inferior" intelligence has always been a fear of his. I don't really know where I'm going with this.. I think I just mean that everyone is different, and "traditional" insults aren't always the ones that hurt. That said, there may be plenty of ways to abuse a man without implying that his mother's a dog. =)

In the age of political correctness the proper term would be Genetially Impared.

your post really made it clear that it's always the woman in the losing end. even in the field of cursing. .

OMG! This is such a violent discussion.:P Peace, my friend, peace. Need we really discuss this topic here and come up with a word to abuse men? Irrespective of men or women, "abuse" is really hurtful. I understand the importance of gender equality, which most women claim and fight for, but this is not really the means to achieve it. I will rather prefer bringing in equality by banning the usage of those terms used to insult women, as you mentioned. Those words have never been a part of my vocabulary, though I admit having read and heard of them, honestly. The advancement of world can happen only by imposing a self-ban from using such words, not by coining and introducing equally competent words into the society, to direct against the opposite party. That will only lead to more hostility. It would have done much better, had you come up with an idea to eradicate those offensive words you listed from being in usage, rather than preparing a set of antonyms for them to counterattack. I wish you a prosperous and peaceful new year.

I am really not sure if there is a word to abuse a man with, most of them are general ones, the ones you can abuse even a kid or a woman. Oh came to think of d**khead, dork, etc. But honestly women a really looked down upon compared to men. Why is this so? What is the name of a male dog?

Oh wow. I'm sitting here and I'm drawing a blank. Really good question. The only thing that I can come up with is an @$$hole, Pri#k, jack@$$, f#@ker...

Hmmm! It's a rare occasion when I get to think deeply of ways to insult a man without feeling guilty! LOL Thank you for the opportunity! I would have to agree with the person who said you have to know someone to really hurt them with an insult, especially males! Ordinary insults may just run off their backs because they know there isn't a chance that these would have any basis in truth. If they know that you know them, then, you can cut them to the quick with some choice words! However if you do want some ordinary ones that don't involve insulting his mother, then go with "worthless", "incompetent", "impotent" (ooh!) "Idiot" always works for me! LOL You have no idea how some people get worked up by that word, male or female! However that may have something to do with comparative intelligence. "Dense" is one that I use that always seems to get men riled! LOL I don't know if it's because they are pretending or not. Believe it or not, I have heard of insults that involve one's father. Have you never heard the term "Leave your father head alone!"? (Maybe it's a Trini thing!) LOL Although, I don't suppose that is an insult per se, unless it's because I just don't get it. Just thought I'd mention it, though.

when an ex and i were in the midst of a breakup, he was yelling and swearing at my mother and her (female) friend. He called her the 'c' word and she just yelled back that he was an ankle...even lower than a 'c' word!! I found it funny, unfortunately the poor boy didn't even understand.
