“Bastard” is what you call “male leaning” because it was used for male children born outside of marriage who therefore couldn’t inherit titles.
It wasn’t used much for girls cause they couldn’t inherit titles anyway, so it didn’t matter.
“Fucker” is “male leaning” cause women were historically not seen as doing the fucking. They were fucked.
