Germaine Greer on the C Word (1 of 2)

[TenWhoWereTaken]

I use the word 'cunt' almost as a term of endearment. It gets me into trouble sometimes when I'm around people I don't really know...

[ec123456789able]

I don't see why people would get overly offended by any word, unless it was meant to cause offence. I think that some people take themselves too seriously.

[grezzbop]

in Canada and US, it' s term of derision applied it to women. Britons apply it to men

[infidel1978]

Germaine Greer is a complete feminised CUNT

germaine greer is a cunt.

[Myrtone]

@33LB The word is offensive specifically because of usage like this one.

[Myrtone]

@thesarahspunk How about the word Yoni?

[Clippped]

@1madphukr but it's incorrect to say that the vagina was made to accept the penis, because more importantly, it's designed to birth a human being. To call the female sex organ a vagina is wrong, because you are merely stating that all it's worth is in sex and labour instead of it being something to extract urine from and for sexual pleasure, which the word penis covers all those areas.

So "vagina" is actually a euphomsim. If it is a Latin word, consider the German word for that area which is Scheide.

[redface626]

I thought nigger was the most offensive.

[Clippped]

@redface626 Sure, as long as it's the most offensive alongside slut and faggot.

Before the Reformation, Gropecunt Lane was a famous haunt of prostitutes in London.

Medieval London was more open to sex than we might think; for instance sex al fresco was considered very acceptable, unlike now.

[TrustowrthyRapist]

Cunt. Doesn`t even sound like vagina to me. The german fotze is way more offencive, because you immediatly think about rotten pussy.

[kanga888]

[osei1977]
