I find the word Breeder when used in reference to ANY woman vulgar and offensive. It reduces a woman (once again) to her reproductive organs.
What I cannot understand is why in the Queer Community it is used as a descriptor of women that have had children.
It's kind of like using the "Gold Star Lesbian" thing. As if those of us that were in relationships with bio-men are some how a less desirable grade of Queer than those that were not.
When somebody uses that term about me it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. My path to self acceptance may have been longer than the next girls, but that doesn't make me a receptacle for sperm.
I am not an animal, and have never EVER been *bred*.
Why do we do this to each other? How do you feel about that word?

I love how you take it out of context and start a thread about it.
You want to drag this conversation over to another thread now?
Honestly, if you don't think little girls are groomed for this shit from before they can even talk, I really don't understand how or why you'd jump into a conversation about that exact topic
It wasn't a dis on people who have kids...it was used as a dis for how girls are groomed by a sexist culture.
I heard you. I got your feelings on the topic. Had that been the way I used it in the post, I would agree with you. But that's not how I used it.
