Gendered Slurs.
Slurring language has had a lot of recent interest, but the focus has been almost exclusively on racial slurs. Gendered pejoratives, on the other hand—terms like "slut," "bitch," or "sissy"—do not fit into existing accounts of slurring terms, as these accounts require the existence of neutral correl...
