who the fuck decided that if you take a derogatory term for women and gender-flip it then it's cute and inoffensive and not at all just as fucked up.

anyone talking about how "the best type of women are bimbos" would rightly be called a misogynist so how in the fuck is this acceptable

It's the logical endpoint of the anti-mansplaining push. If knowing things and trying to tell them to you is bad, then not knowing jack shit must be good.

It's always been very odd, that trend has been. I can't explain it though.

I guess, it's sortof like neutralizing an alkaline solution by adding an acid to it, even though the acid would be corrosive in isolation? :)

Like, if there already is a general society-wide expectation that the ideal woman is sexy and stupid and the ideal man is smart and ugly, then saying that bimbos are good makes the problem worse, but saying that himbos are good dismantles the gender roles and moves us closer to the gender-free utopia...
