Exactly. We did the same thing with our kids. They saw us interacting with a wide range of people. When our son came home from a friend's house and said, "Mommy, what she's the word n----r mean? What does the word f----t mean?" we had a conversation about loaded words and how we don't use them. I've been working to eliminate gendered insults like b**ch and p---y from my speech. My son called a friend a b--ch while gaming today and I told him not to use gendered insults and explained why. We teach our kids how to deal with people. If you teach them right they will be good human beings.

"Call him a fucking Asshat if you must."

Sorry, I know you didn't mean it like that, but I had to chuckle because the "No gendered insults" kinda sounds like everything else is fair play.

That's basically what I said.
