No, cuntface -- it's merely that "cunt" is widely considered the most offensive word and so when I think you're being a total cunt and not merely a dick, I say you're a total cunt.
Yes I think perhaps the reason the word "cunt" became accepted as the most offensive in the first place was for sexist reasons, but that does not make the person using the word sexist. I called you a total cunt because I thought you were being a total cunt. I don't give a fuck of the origin of the word, it's not a word only to be directed at females, it's not analogous to the N word.
The part of your quote I bolded is complete bullshit. People don't think it's extra hurtful because it's female. People thought it was extra hurtful because it was female, because our culture used to be significantly more sexist than it is now, hence why it's the biggest insult in the first place. "Thought" not "think". Past tense, numbnuts. I'm using that word now because I think you're a [insert swear word known to be most offensive here].
Let's put it this way, if "cabbage" was the worst swear word in the English language I would have instead said "Wow, you're a total cabbage". And even if that was because the word "cabbage" had originally came to be the most offensive swear word because it originated out of a culture where people are bigoted against cabbages, that would not mean I was being cabbageist and it would be silly for you to insist that I had something against cabbages.
