Firstly apologies if anyone thinks I'm being twee using asterisks but it's not a word I would use in either of its meanings, but I am surprised that it is used(exclusively?) as an insult here.

This site is largely populated by women many of a feminist and /or liberal persuasion. I'd have expected there to be some(a few?)who would seek to reclaim the word in its biological sense.

Is it beyond redemption in that sense?

The way I see it Mumsnet is a place for promoting equality.

Which is why posters can equally seen using the word dick as an insult.

Dicks are also beautifully enjoyable things that give a lot of pleasure. Except, obviously, when somebody is being one.

For the record, I don't tend to use either. But it doesn't strike me as a feminist issue.

Does all this mean that the expression "lady bits" is rude?
