Fine. Call me a cock. But I think it's unnecessarily disrespectful to use a word that has such an anti-feminist history in a thread like this one.
Ladies, am I wrong? Has the word lost its power now through overuse or expanded usage, so that it's no longer considered a misogynist term?
Here's my reasoning: nobody that I've ever heard calls a woman a "dick." Many call both women and men a "cunt." The fact that the c-word refers to women, and is then applied perjoratively to men, implicitly shows a greater disrespect toward women than toward men. The same goes for calling men "bitches."
All I can say is I think you must be American? Right? I thought other countries weren't weird about the word cunt. I'm personally not offended by any swear words. People who use the word cunt seem to use it universally. I like it almost as much as wanker, I think just because I love the way it sounds in a British accent. are you serious right now with the censorship of words? Wut.
