Question about a problematic and offensive expression [Caution!] -
10-03-2014, 07:27 AM
Hello everyone,
I'm sorry that I'm writing an entry about an offensive word. I feel bad already. But I'd like to know this for investigative or explainatory reasons. (I will explain the reason for asking this below.)
I've had a discussion with a friend and he ended up calling some women
肉便器. As I'm not a native speaker I don't know the intensity of this insult.
But he basically condemned them for having liberal sex.
He takes a lot of pride in his own sexual liberty though so I asked him how'd he feel if someone called him a "manwhore" or "manslut".
But I could only ask this in English because I didn't know to express this term in Japanese.
I would like to know if there is a Japanese equivalent to the expression "manslut" (or "manwhore").
If there is a way to express this in a more neutral manner I'm very interested in hearing that, too, because I think discussing this without insulting someone is the best way.
I'm only interested in the offensive version of this term to show my friend the impact of what he actually said.
It's not my aim to hurt him. I just think he has a very biased and unfair opinion and I'd like to point that out.
The Japanese terms I know mostly include direct references to females, though, so they can obviously not be used for males.
Sorry for asking something offensive and I apologise if I made a reader feel uncomfortable.
