Yes. Why buy the cow when you can have it for free right?



Does the cow want to be bought?



Most women want a man to respect and connect with her.....don't they?

Of course, there are those that have very low self esteem, that dont, i guess?

For some reasons, "cow waiting to be bought" does not equal "respect and connection" or "self-confidence" in my Pisces mind.

I would be happy if women would stop using such misogynistic expressions.

You should read gendered/sexed language by Defrancisco and Palczewski. It talks about a term called resignification. If you think about it logically once a word has been created it's really difficult to get it out of the human language. So instead of getting butt hurt and trying to push people to change and stop using a certain word/ sentence/ cliche... blah blah blah... you can redefine and or change the meaning and value of a word/ sentence... just as gay use to mean something positive but now have negative connotations it is because the meaning of it (through culture and time) has been redefined. Just like spinster, slut, cunt... all use to have positive connotations but now have stigmas attached to them. It's unrealistic to expect everybody to stop using a certain saying or word just because it's "offensive" it's more realistic (and I think you'll have an easier time) if you try to change people's attitudes towards it. And it starts with changing yours.
