Controversy: The "C" Word

[TAVS]

Its a Word. Women make up roughly half the population. They are not a minority. Before long, they wont even need men. In my opinion, women who get offended by such a simple word have a tampon stuck up their arse. No offense Vashti

cunt is a pretty vulgar word, but then again, i'm a pretty vulgar person and i probably use the f word at least 15-25 times a day.

How is that relevant?

i think that the bottom line is, it's just like the f word. whether you like it, use it, or hate it, it will still be around and in common sight. just close your eyes if you don't want to hear...

I have a woman at work who would probably literally close her ears if she heard a "cunt" and she would start to pray to her beloved A.

Cunt is not even censored on this forum, why people don't get offended with the ford "f-u-c-k" then?

Cunt sounds so english, I hope when Friss was writing it, he was spelling it loudly with a british accent , ouh

[vashti]

i think the reason that it isn't censored is because loveadmin's first language isn't English, and he doesn't understand the full impact of the word.

Sorry, I couldn't resist


I think the word is more widely accepted here in Australia than in US. It can be used in all sorts of un offensive conversations:

To a friend - Thanks, what a sick cunt!
About a boss - My boss made me stay back, he's a cunt
At a friend's birthday - How you goin you old cunt?

I hate that 'c' word. I'd rather be called a 'twat' or something else, lol

How is it relevant? How the **** is it not relevant? Some women compare this to racist terms. For Petes sake, Women hold all the cards, how dare they have the nerve to get offended by such nonsense. As a white male, I certainly dont expect to be offended by words like Cracker. Give me a break.

Cunt is a pretty serious insult in the Midwest. The one and only time that I called my girlfriend that, in the heat of a very serious misunderstanding, she was extremely offended. We almost broke up over that argument, and the only way she would accept my apology was if I also took an anger management class. The class was a great experience, and not only saved the relationship but also saved my career. In general, here in the Midwest, the C-word is about the worst thing that you can call a woman.

I remember an episode of News Radio that covered this territory. Dave admitted to Beth the receptionist that he and his girlfriend Lisa (another co-worker) had been fighting, which was why Lisa seemed so upset. Beth asked if Dave had called her the B-word, and Dave smiled awkwardly and admitted that he had gone a little bit past that. Beth gasped and exclaimed, "You called her the C-word! Oh my god, Dave!"

I'm surprised how many men don't realize the harshness of this word. Just the other day someone called someone a bitch and we all laughed, then someone said yeah, what a cunt. The ladies in the car all 3 of them had jaw dropping reactions. Since he was a buddy we kindly explained why he should proably never ever use that word again. He made the same claim Fras did here I didn't know blah blah blah. So while SOME ladies and gents obviously don't take great offense to the word much like dick, bitch or the like but where I am you say that- there's outrage.

The equivalent insult for a straight guy would be something like "c*cksucker."

haha! WTF does being a white male have to do with whether or not someone is offended by a particular word? And have you bothered to notice that there are males posting in this thread that AGREE it is offensive?

I don't think so. Unless it was a gay guy inviting him to be one. lol

Seriously, I can't think of an equivalent term for males that would carry the same weight, except maybe if a woman said he had a little penis (which would only have the same impact if he did).

Whatever, insult is an insult,no matter if it's A CUNT or AN IDIOT or A COCK SUCKER, everybody who never insulted anybody here should first throw the stone
