  • “B**ches” can be considered a slur in some circles as it’s used to target women who fight for feminism.

    That said, the word in French is not really used that way, and has a direct masculine equivalent in a way the English version does not.

    IMO it’s insulting but not a slur

    Edit: Also “slurs” are not a thing in France, the best characterization you’ll get for the n-word for example would be “insulte à caractère raciale”, so racial insult, which is also illegal. But there is no common denominator between this, and the word f*g or insults targeting other minorities, each are qualified by who they insult and generally illegal for who they target.
