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.
Quote: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.Why even bring that up? Am I missing an easy slam-dunk winning argument here? Hmmmm. . .
Quote: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].You seem to really have a hate-on for me, but I don't think I've had really anything to do with you, other than asking you not to use a word I consider sexist. I'm just not seeing your motivation, here. What behavior or comments, in particular, do you think make me a "cunt" or a [insert swear word known to be most offensive here]. And just for the record, I'd say "cunt," "faggot" (or "faggit") or "Trump supporter" would be at the top of my list. However, in order to be hurt by your word, whatever it is, I'd have to care what you think-- and you have not shown yourself to be of sufficient character or intellect for me to much care about your opinion of me.
Quote: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.Maybe not, but neither would it be interpreted as you having a sense of solidarity or support for cabbages, any interest in cabbage equality, or any sensitivity to the very real hurt that at least some cabbages would still feel at your (totally unnecessary) persistent use of the word.
And, since you're trying to draw an analogy, try to learn how analogies work: you wouldn't attack someone by shouting "cabbage." That would be like calling me a "woman," which while strange would have absolutely zero insult value for me. You'd attack them by pointing out their dirty roots, or their leafiness, or whatever-- which would be an attack on me because you clearly have a problem with leafiness, and an indirect attack on cabbages, who should not have their leafiness serve as the basis of an insult-- against them or anyone else.
Anyway, you have expressed overt hostility and a desire to insult me. What you haven't done, however, is said exactly what action I've done to draw this level of hatred from you, or what you'd want me to do/say differently. Why don't you use your words a little better, so we can come to an agreement? Come on, bruh, let's hug it out!
