Toward gender neutral cusswords

I disagree with that view, but there you have it.
I think it's great to call a woman an asshole when she deserves it. The word is so evocative and not-gender specific, it ought to be used against more women. More accurate than bitch in so many cases. Also a better use for women in power, as bitch is often a sexist slur when used against them. For example, I'm not a Hillary basher, but isn't she more of an asshole than a bitch?

I'm trying to think of more examples: JLo-bitch. Julia Roberts-asshole. Elizabeth Hurley-bitch.
JFF-asshole.

The word asshole has just gotten weird to me, in that way that I can't believe it's an actual word. Time to stop.
