Editor,
It's not the choice of words.
It's the arrogation by misogynist men to themselves of decisions about women's health, women's bodies, and women's sexuality -- and their militant exclusion of women from those decisions.
The words are immaterial. It is a fluke of language how epithets for men -- none printable here -- and epithets for women derive from human anatomy and bodily functions.
The issue is not words. The issue is raw, virulent hatred.
The hatred is inexcusable.

- I like the way birds tell each other when someone is approaching, how briefly they swoop in to feed on berries in the wild, how they fly away as fast as they possibly can after pecking off a morsel or two, and how big the creek behind where I am staying gets when it's been raining hard for a few days.
