    The word isn't actually that important. You posted a link to a story about a woman being deported from Sri Lanka for having a tattoo, and the religious and legal implications of having tattoos in certain countries. Did you mention any of that? No, the whole point of the post was to point out that the woman was ugly. If it had been a man who was deported, would you have commented on his appearance and ignored the content of the story? I doubt it. That's why it's sexist, that's why it's misogynistic.
    You can't possibly judge what "the whole point of the post was" as you didn't post it, but you (and the others) haven't let that stop you from attributing sexist and misogynistic intent. You're welcome to your opinion, but it's no more than that.

    If "the word isn't that important" why change it?

        I don't think there was intent - just ignorance.
