    Ahh the use of the word “creep” for men. It’s logged with the purposefully demeaning “bitch” and “ho”. How about the good ole use of “asshole”?

      I think they used creep because it implies a kind of sexualized misbehavior, whereas asshole is more of a generalized insult. Like someone who steals your lunch from the work fridge is an asshole, but might not be a creep – unless they rub their cootch and put it back. Now that’s creepy!
