Author here. I'm not a fan of swearing, but I felt that 'Shit' deserved an equally emotional response. Perhaps a mistake.
Sorry about that. I'm not a native english speaker. To my ear, 'Shit' and 'Bitch' has about the same potential offense.
It's not that it's a swear word, it's that "bitch please" feels to me like something straight out of memes/rage comics. Things like this impacted hugely on reddit's quality downfall, and I wouldn't be too avid to see this happen here.
Gotcha. Next time, I'll watch my swearing more carefully.
It's the title of the article, and what—"Shit" is permissible but "Bitch" isn't?
There's some really good content here.
Yeah, it's a word used to put down females. Whereas I couldn't care less about "shit." Please edit; flagged until edited.
Perhaps not the best choice of words for a wide audience, but the overall message is spot on.
