We’re not banning colorful language, we’re banning specific subsets of slurs. “Cunt” is not a slur, IMO, it’s just a vulgar word. It’s the same level as fuck, shit, twat, asshole, etc. These are all fine.
Yet I know a few women who consider "cunt" and "bitch" to be slurs, as they have been used to demean women specifically for generations.
This is going to be more complex than some staff thought it would be, but that shouldn't be shocking.
It’s worth the effort, IMO. I think it’s going to be more difficult for the people who feel like they’ve had some privilege taken away from them. I don’t know what to say if that’s he case. *shrugs*
