The C word

[Wussycat]

The word 'cunt' is widely considered to be the worst of all the swear words. The word can mean vagina or slut. Could feminism be the cause of it being such a taboo word?

In the UK, 'cunt' is the only word that can't be said on TV at any time. If the word 'cunt' is said in a film that would otherwise be rated 15, the BBFC will cut out that part and rate the film 15, or they will leave it in and rate the film 18.

South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut is the only film rated 15 that includes the word 'cunt', but they probably missed it because it goes by so fast.

I once told a girl I was dating that if she didn't want to hear me use the word cunt, I would not, but only if I never heard the word cock out of her. After explaining that they were both similar words, she agreed.

What is in any word that you would let it have power over you?

I remember raising the ire of my religious studies mentors when I pointed out the absurdity that you could say "f*ck" in any language except English.

There are many forms of oppression, but to me, I would much rather suffer words that are intended to insult or disparage (which, let's face it, you can always manage to do if you really want to in very eloquent high speach no matter how tight censorship gets) than put up with the political correctness flavour of the month what do the feminazi's have their panties in a knot about THIS time.

Speach is free or it is not. It really doesn't matter what you say or what you refrain from saying, if someone has a chip on their shoulder they will manage to find offence in anything you say.

And what about the words "deadbeat dad" or "absent father" or even "divorced father" or even "man"
