It’s hard to say with the limited context.
But the word is obviously, in certain contexts, derogatory towards women. However, I feel like, especially on the internet, you have to consider that the user using the term might not be a native speaker and could possibly be using it unintentionally.
I’d argue that a warning and explanatory comment would be the first step, unless it’s a repeat offender. Otherwise you are more likely to create enemies who won’t learn.
I agree completely.
I don’t have examples at hand now, but I feel like I see so much like minorly-sexist talk. Or at least the stuff I only imagined horny men write, in so many threads.
Reddit was the same like ~10 years ago and I don’t miss that part of it.
