Spinster is an excellent word and its use should be expanded.

In my experience, it's pretty cutting. You have to temper it when said out loud, using either "you look like a" or "you sound like a" to blunt it somewhat for polite society. I'm not accusing you of being a spinster. I'm just saying you look or sound like one when you do that behavior.

On the other hand, when you say out of their company that someone's acting like a spinster, all the married women join in agreeing with glee. They know what it really takes to have a relationship and raise a family, and they can't stand some impostor talking know-nothing bullshit. Likewise when someone's taken a "I hate children/I hate families" stance, all you have to whisper to the married women "spinster" and the anti-breeder ranter is instantly ridiculous.

There already exist accepted variants:

spinsterhood (noun)
spinsterish (adj)
spinsterly (adj)

Some examples:

"You're starting to sound like spinster. Easy up on the negativity, cup cake."

"She's well advanced into spinsterhood. Forever Alone."

"More sour mouth and spinsterish complaining. Have you lost the ability to be happy?"

"She acts kinda spinsterly at times."

Feminism is a relatively new word.

Not really. First recorded use was 1894.

Yes, even though the feminist movement is thought to have really gotten into high gear in the 60s, I had the late 1800s in mind when I said that. Most of our words are much older.

Creepy is a word used by women towards men that make them uncomfortable in any way whatsoever. The word has a tendency to completely de-value a man and strip him of any human characteristics whatsoever.

Using that same stream of logic, what is the best and quickest way to de-value a women? What are some descriptors?

To me, a woman's weak point is being taken seriously. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING pisses a woman off more than being patronized. If you can convince a woman and the immediate environment that her juvenile worldview is something to be pitied because of its simplistic idiocy, I think that's a pretty big win.

I'm partial to the word "simpleton" and "imbecile". They're much more potent to me than simply calling someone an "idiot". "Simpleton" also describes most women perfectly, and there's no better way to cut her opinion in half. As an adjective, "Asinine" is fairly potent, if not too highbrow for much of the populace. The problem here is that most people's vocabulary is awful, so anything remotely past a 5th grade reading level loses potency. "Creepy" is effective because of it's childish familiarity; hence its infuriating quality.

"Half-wit" and "cretin" are also favorites of mine.

Or just go all Old English on her ass. Example usage at a club:

Hamster: "Ewww, I can't believe you just said that to my friend, that's like, SOOOO creepy."

You: "Dost thy cranium contain but more than a dram of slime, loathsome wench? Your asinine words reveal your half-witted nature. Begone to the lair of cretins from whence ye came!"

cunt, hussy, used tampon, hamsterbating, mind raped. Windbag, Full of Hot air. I love the idea of using creepy and other misused words against them too.

Xsplat - daddy-leech is good.

Walderschmidt - old maid is bound to send shivers down the spine of any single 30-something. Left on the shelf is similar but not compact enough.

It struck me today that "spinster shield" might work better than bitch shield, because all she's doing by being snarky is ensuring she'll end up alone. When you get shit from a girl, you say "You might want to lower your spinster shield a little there before it's too late", and walk away. It'll get her thinking if nothing else.

There's a famous feminist mag in the UK called Spare Rib. Sometimes I feel like writing to them and suggesting they change it to Spare Toenail Clipping. Ribs are much too useful.
