Yes, culture of judgment and shame is a good phrase since so many insults can resonate as gendered references â that rely for their force on a history of narratives that silence and objectify based on gender. Even the expectation that makeup (or its absence) is for the benefit of someone else looking is primarily meaningful by reference to past narratives about gender.
Even many of the most popular terms used to insult men are actually misogynist in nature. âSon of a bitchâ and âbastardâ both insult a man by impugning the honor of his mother. No one insults a woman by calling her a âdaughter-of-a-dick.â
Our culture is so steeped in sexism that we donât even have the vocabulary to insult each other equally.

They will never get better.
