1. Is the person a female?
If they were male, would you call them a sexist bull?

If the answers are "Yes," then full steam ahead!

7. Now, we all know that you engage in cow "tipping" but that doesn't mean the rest of us do it.

Who knew cows were prostitutes? At least you tip!

11. I'd stick with 'sexist asshole' myself.
Because everybody's got an asshole, so it can't be a sexist term. :P

12. Does it really matter if you call them that if you are already thinking it?
I don't think that qualifies as sexist. But what do I know?

13. No. (image warning)


For anybody so observant...I do in fact know that the "bull" in the photo is actually female. It made the photo funnier.

Watusi are one of few known breed of cattle where both the male and female have large horns.

16. asshole should be gender neutral, also idiot, moron, jerk, neanderthal, etc.
Yes, of course calling someone a cow is sexist. I have a friend named Kao (pronounced "cow") so I call her K-O because I'm just not going to call a woman "cow".

17. It is insulting to cows
May I suggest "sexist Bushbot." :shrug: It's a nice insult even if (or maybe especially if) the person is NOT a Bushbot.

28. Usage test: have I ever heard someone call a doltish male a cow?
Sadly, no. How about "sexist dolt" instead?

31. I call men sluts, but we're both in the minority on such usages.
The slang usage of cow is directed to women. It's just "bitch" in a different dress.
