The only thing similar was it mentioned women and bundles of sticks.Yeah, yeah, not similar at all. The only similarity was the entire fact that "faggot" is meant to equate gay people to women and originated from the term for a bundle of sticks.Oh, wait, that's pretty much what I said, isn't it?Except women are not gathering bundles of sticks.Bruh, it literally says on the page "I MEAN MAYBE THIS IS WHERE IT'S FROM BUT IUNNO"Wikipedia lists both your example and mine as well as about five others. It's pretty unknown where the slur originated.

Actually, he's not wrong on that being the derivative - just wrong on everthing else.Gathering sticks is meant to be a woman's work, traditionally, and the term "faggot" was applied to gay and/or effeminate men in order to compare them to women.

You can be a guy who likes playing with dolls and wearing dressed whilst being perfectly comfortable being male, and by the same token you can be a girl who likes watching football and wearing baggy jeans whilst being perfectly comfortable being female. The two don't correlate directly just because activities are typically associated with genders - something that society has reinforced, as well.SJWSo does "SJW" just mean "not a cunt"?Am I supposed to be insulted by being called "not a cunt"?

It basically just means "more progressive than I am comfortable with" and can be used as such to any degree. I've seen "SJW" used on everything from otherkin that thought they were a goddess and that not worshipping them was 'triggering' to a gay dude that didn't like being referred to as "one of the good ones" because he wasn't overly effeminate.It means nothing.

I mean I was a Brony four years ago but now I'm fucking jacked, so there must be a correlation.

This is why playwrights, poets and authors that have been dead for years are to this day still remembered. They can and do have an emotional affect on people. They're how we communicate sentiments and ideas to one another.
