I disagree, because it means the same as calling them "dick"

"cracker is just as bad as the n-word" energy

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

cracker was originally a term for load Irish people , then a term for poor farmers, then generally just white people.

Unfortunately much like the term “gringo” many of us take it as a term of endearment rather than an insult.

All of that is why cracker isn’t as offensive of the n word.

Likewise cunt isn’t as offensive as the n word either.

cracker for trashy white people.

Not really... How can it be mysogynistic if there is no difference among genders/sex? There is for "pussy", because it only exists for the female organ, but not in this case. It may be tasteless in your opinion, but if the fact that it's the female or the male organ doesn't change the meaning, it is, by definition, not mysogynistic/sexist.
