We should reclaim the word **REDACTED, APPARENTLY**

The other F word, the on people actually get offended by now, Faggot.

Why are gay people so reviled throughout human history? It has little to do with the common answer of religious indoctrination. Rather, it's more logical to assume that it's a misfiring of a necessary survival instinct developed through evolution. In our times of tribalism, men relied on each other to stand against rival tribes, and to hunt dangerous game. Being perceived as submissive was devastating to one's position in the tribe. If you were willing to submit to another man, how could you be trusted not to submit to an enemy? 

What if slurs like faggot had evolved to describe not gay people, but people too willingly submissive to unworthy masters? 

I think that we need to bring this back in modern society. Too many people demand to be coddled and taken care of, too many people demand their freedom stripped for the sake of security, too many people enslave themselves to the whims of governments they admit to be untrustworthy, and worse, they demand it of others. I have decided to separate the meaning of slurs from any reference to a person's sexuality and unapologetically refer to these people as faggots, as I believe they should be referred to by a strong pejorative. Hopefully, we can stigmatize eager submission to unworthy authority as we once unjustly stigmatized homosexuality.

We should reclaim the word "Faggot".

Hello SJ:

We should.. I LOVE that word. Let's bring back "queer" too.

Is queer really a pejorative anymore? Maybe in earlier generations, but I've definitely seen gay people use it as a benign identifier for anything outside of heterosexuality.

I see your point, in regards to the word "faggot", I can see you are unaware of its origins. The term actually came from the British school fagging system, which has now long been banned.

True, but I was trying to describe the origin of our social structures and why homosexuals are reviled throughout history, not the etymological root of the word in question. If you have a suggestion for a better pejorative to use against people who demand unworthy masters, I definitely want to hear it.

To be fair, faggot is a pretty good word, but I would also call them pussies, wimps and sissies.
