Profanity is one-sided...

Pussy is even more casual than dick.

It wasn't always a woman's favorite word to pretend to be especially offended by . When I was younger , it was just another swear word . Then I guess it started making the rounds that it was somehow more offensive than average . You know how women are ... sort of a collective sense of offense depending on what Oprah says is offensive . Or at least , you get the idea .

Isn't so here. I call many people cunt when they annoy me, men or women.

But I can call MRAs 'creeps' all I want, right? Okay good. Thanks.

Yeah, I feel that way about creepy. If men didn't get so upset by it, it wouldn't have any power.

Very true. The Oatmeal made a good strip about this, actually: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/c_word

IMO, they are just words. They are only powerful because we give them power.

A Japanese person may not know what the hell "cunt" means and, therefore, likely won't be offended if one were to say it to them. Similarly, an American would have no clue what "Okamno Daisuki" (I think I got that right...) means, yet the Japanese may be offended by that.

In the UK the word cunt is thrown around much more casually. This is a US thing.

If less women acted like it was a big deal to use that word, it would be less of a big deal.
