          I don’t understand that view. Care to elaborate?

          Why shouldn’t people use retarded as an insult? Because some handicapped people are retarded? Or is it that all handicapped people are retarded and retarded is just another word for it.

          I always thought retarded means slow in the head to an degree that makes you not functional anymore. So a retarded person wouldn’t be insulted by the word as they would be to retarded to comprehend the meaning.

          Yet you are the only one here calling people names. You make no sense at all

          No wonder you have no idea about meaning of the word ‘retarded’ if you have trouble reading. And calling someone ‘douche’ while playing self proclaimed moral hero is kinda silly.

          And I agree I do not like sexism and gender stereotypes. But I can imagine them being funny for immature, mentally lacking people. :)
