The Ironic Inaccuracy of Gendered Slang

"Grow a pair."

"Nut up."

"Have some balls, man."

"Don't be a pussy."

"What a vag."


Gendered slang is bothersome. But more than that, it's ironically inaccurate.

What happens when a man gets tapped in the nuts? He doubles over with a tummy ache, that's what.

What happens when a woman pushes a human out of her nethers? She gets some stitches, does some kegels, and snaps right back to normal.

Sorry boys. You know it's true.

Instead, I propose we change our gendered slang to more accurately reflect reality.

"Grow a vag."

"Pussy up."

"Do some kegels, bro."

"Don't be a testicle."

"What a nut-sack."
