Fantastic
I really like the style of this art work. The colors you chose and the lighting in and around the speech bubble are awesome and i thought a bit humorous. I didnt particularly pick up a feminist/man-hate vibe from the piece. I took the meaning from what you titled it, which is why i found it funny. A nice twist on the meaning of "language barrier."
Well done! Keep up the good work!

Dynamic :)
The first thing I thought of when I saw this wasn't that it was a "feminist propaganda" or anything about "man-hating" (man-hating material and feminist messages don't tend to be so open to interpretation--heck, the artist might even be CONDONING verbal abuse of women); it actually reminds me of an article I read recently about "slut-bashing," where a person is ridiculed for alleged behavior (or lack thereof) and called a slut or whore, and it can be extremely harmful and even lead to suicide.
I'm not going to interpret the piece, since for all I know the only purpose was to entertain with no deep inner "meaning" intended. I will say I noticed the repetition of words, since as someone else pointed out there are many slurs out there to choose from, especially targeting women. Altogether I loved it, very colorful and strong. Good work. :)
Thanks for your refreshing review. Whether anyone believes it or not, I had no feminist message in mind while making this piece. I chose a woman as the 'victim' simply because I could think of more curse words for women when I made this. If I were to redo this piece with a specific message in mind, I think I would have made the guy another girl. :p

am i a bad person to find this humorous?
I love your palette choice for this piece. I guess I saw this from the perspective of an argument where some guy is really venting. Maybe his verbal assault is justified; such as the women going down on five dudes after a really crazy night of partying. Maybe she ruined his Black ops ranking while he was away for a week. hahaha.

another summary
well, its abother women abused by man. but truley, c'mon. guys ARE like that. but not all guys. is it our fault? no. woman always want to where flashy and revealing clothes. so you cant say that men are to blame for objectifying woman. ESPECIALY when a plus size model is a 5. but all in all good drwing.
