Would you be making a joke of it if it was a term of denigration against women ?
A movie with an all male cast is a movie. A movie with a predominantly female cast is a "chic flick". When a Mad Max film has a dominant female protagonist, it enrages men's rights activists. Women who campaigned for a woman on currency (US and UK) were threatened with rape and murder. As a school girl, my friends and I routinely called each other "moll, tart, whore, bitch, scrubber" in a playful way, but I realised years later we were trying to rob those words of their power, the same as US gay rights did with faggot, and US
blacks did with - that other word. When I was the victim of an attempted violent rape, I found myself apologising the the police for being there, and I ended up be interviewed by a detective who had a nude calendar on the wall (this was a long time ago, but it's not political correctness but common humanity that should have prevented). Then there is the soft but constant drubbing of sexist humour on cycle chat (usually "playfully" anti-wife), and the fact that a lovely germanic word for vagina is the worst thing you can call someone.
etc etc etc
Tell me again how bad "mamil" is
