In The Female Eunuch, Germaine Greer notes how the language of affection reduces women to foods and baby animals--honey, lamb, sugar, sweetie-pie, kitten, chick.

Ugh, spent far too many lessons of English Language looking at that exact subject. Also how so many insults are female animals (bitch, cow etc.). SO I have decided that I can't be bothered to read that much into it any more because I've written at least 3 essays on the topic already.

LOL I imagine that must get annoying after a while.

Thanks for commenting!
