I've been thinking of some:
Sassy
Feisty
Hysterical
Gossip
Strident
Mumtrepeneur
Career woman
Slut

These are used to describe women having an opinion, working or having sex. I can't think of male equvilents.

I've heard bitch used many times about men. But usually if they're gossiping (both considered female 'traits'). :(

Words that are used for both, but in different ways:

Dog = ugly woman
Dog = cunning, manipulative man, but in an admired way (you sly dog!)

Shrewish
Termagant

Selfridges were selling these the other day. Charming.

Blethermouse · 10/07/2011 15:25

some of these words could be used for men..high maintenance for example, but they are derogatory words and therefore used as a put down, usually but not always by men, about women
equally there are words used primarily to insult men such as
wimp
nerd
geek
mummys boy

DoubleDegreeStudent · 10/07/2011 15:26

There's also the male equivalent of MILF, but you hardly ever hear people commenting on what a DILF someone is...

The little woman
Behind every successful man...

I just posted this, but it disappeared...
On political representation:
patronising special treatment
on their own merits
best person for the job
This is always accompanied by absolutely no analysis of why there are so few women in political power.
