    The word ‘pussy’ as a pejorative predates its use as a slang for female genitalia. It actually originates from ‘pussycat’, as comparing a person to a jumpy and easily scared feline. Any misogyny attached to it is extremely recent and performative.

    Man, you’re all over this thread not knowing what words mean.

    It’s not misogynistic, but this one does have that root:

    Stop being a cunt. (And I say that as a woman.)
