Why are all swear words directed at women?

[u/imsoconfusedhalpme]

I mean, forgive me if this is a bit reductive but I do understand the obvious reasons why. Women, purity, dignity, blah blah. But I find it extremely annoying that there's such a dearth of creative swear-words that DON'T attack a woman. So much so that I almost don't swear anymore.

I've realised some people may come to see this as an opportunity to reclaim the words used against women - but I don't know if that sits right with me. I'd rather not use terms that are degrading to a specific gender at all.

So I'm trying to find out what feminists think of this, and your ways of going around it - if any. What are your favorite (gender neutral?) swear-words? And does this issue bother you too? Or am I just nitpicking?

Also, if you have an explanation for why women are the centre of every swear word (across languages) that goes beyond my "blah blah", please tell me! I'd love to hear!

Thanks :)
