[yonkers weights]

A lot of them on here... Just saying!

 

[Bikini Mod]

GD you are joking... right?








Nevermind.... I know you aren't.

 

[Bikini Mod]

Biteme, it is because it is a word that incites hatred and tremendous disrespect.

It is no different than NIGGER - SPIC - WOP - WETBACK - RAGHEAD, etc.

It is demeaning and degrading, not funny at all.

Some women may not take offense to it as some men might not be offended it you called them any of the derogatory words mentioned above.

How many times does this have to be said on the boards for just a handfull of MEN to *get it*?

Okay, for anyone who is seriously interested:

http://www.matthewhunt.com/cunt/etymology.html

http://www.takeourword.com/pt.html

And yes, even Wikipedia got in on this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunt

Most of the articles are relatively long, those who are genuinely curious can look for themselves, the rest don't give a damn so I'll save the posting space.

Are you sure? I may just chew you up and spit you out before I'm done.

nigger/spic/kike/dirty guido wop scumbag is another family, a much more sinister family

yeah why not, im sick of being the only man in the world who hasnt seen it lol

It is not that taboo in England.

It is just a response to living in a world of piss taking c*nts.

A c*nt, actually, is far more frequently used in reference to a man, however, it is used for both sexes.

I prefer the punani.

I also like yoni, but not everyone knows that one.

Hoo Hoo makes me laugh (that is an American one)

We use it as a term of endearment between guys / friends in Scotland.

I understand what you are saying but what I am telling you is that towards a woman the word is the most ugly, hatefull word you can say.

 

[binö]

I understand what you are saying but what I am telling you is that towards a woman the word is the most ugly, hatefull word you can say.

here's a little test to prove my rigtheousness once and for all.
find a black lady and call her either:
a. cunt
b. bitch
c. the unmentionable "n" word
do this untill all three options have been used, C will easily provoke the most disgust and rage

BM-while I agree that the C-word is degrading and shows a lack of respect for women and for oneself for using such language, it is very hard for males to be called out for using this word when SO many women call men the D word for the male genitalia and do so with no shame or reservation.

Society as a whole which is comprised of half if not just over half women has no problem with degrading men and emasculating them by making disparaging remarks about their genitals. Combine this with the contstant mantra of the feminist/equal rights movment and you have a hard time logically saying that women are anymore cival or refined by being offended by the use of the c-word but not equally so offended or put off by women using the use of the d-word.

WTF are you, the male equivalent of a femi-nazi? You've clearly sat and brooded over this shit.

FYI, I've never met a guy who thought Dick to be much of an insult, most of the men I know use it the same way blacks use the N word ... fact of the matter, if I wanted to piss a guy off, I'd call him a whiny ass little bitch ... or pillow biter (assuming the dude in question ain't queer).

True in England as well. Although with girlies, I would call my mates a cow or bitch

I am just pointing out logical contradiction on how many women and men view the d-word vs the c-word.

Seriously this requires no thought or brooding, it is just a simple fact. So to put in another way, it is difficult for guys to think that much of using the C-word to inflame, degrade, offend, or hurt a woman when so many women have no compunction of calling both men and women the d word. Pretty simple stuff

I have an issue with anyone wantonly degrading anybody else, regardless of their gender.

 

[riverrock]

It seems that women make the most in terms of voicing their opinions against it. On the other hand, I think its the ultimate put down - Calling someone a C!!!!! Doesn't exactly beat around the bush does it!! (No pun intended!!!)

Bunch of cunts up in here.

 

[Mr. dB]

I'm not sure exactly when it was that you imagine that "cunt" was ever an acceptable word in polite company?

 

[javaguru]

I'm not sure exactly when it was that you imagine that "cunt" was ever an acceptable word in polite company?

I never remember walking dow the Sr. hall in high school greeting my female friends with,"What up cunt?" As long as I remember it was the biggest insult you reserved for a female. Asshole and Bitch are thrown around so much they are ineffective as true insults.

 

[stilleto]

you can stop thinking you're being funny or smart by using a word so often that is clearly not allowed.

 

[Bikini Mod]

Yea but you are forgetting this is EF C&C where "anything goes".

Oh wait, that was some of the OTHER loser EF wannabee sites. My bad.

I wish that some of the men around here who continue their sophmoric antics claiming ignorance would just STFU already. It stopped being entertaining a long ass time ago. Sorta like telling the same bad joke every 5 minutes or so. Maybe one or two doofuses might laugh but even they start rolling their eyes up into their heads shortly thereafter.

i personally believe its more on the level of calling a gay person a faggot.

racial slurrs are a couple steps above that.

i call people fags all the time. people here call people fags all the time.

so ill call people, guy or girl, cunts. cunts ARE cunts, and i dont feel bad using the word, just likei dont feel bad usin the word fag.

but there are instances where saying those words are going too far,

 

[Sub-Zero]

actually calling someone a faggot is worse than calling someone a cunt.

a faggot is derogatory to a group of people (homos), while being used to target somene else.

who is cunt derogatory too? other cunts? lmao. its like clalin someone a vagina!!!.

anyone who says the word fag, but says no to cunt, is just a lil on the crazy side, but thats my opinion

I wouldn't call anyone a fag either if I knew it might offend them.

Dude call your mother a cunt and get back to me. Tell me whether or not she thinks its funny. Or hey, why don't you do a little market research. Call some of your buds a fag in a joking manner. Then call their mother's a cunt in the same joking manner... then report back.

This is not about which word is more offensive than the word cunt.

This is about THE FACT that many, both male and female, find this word offensive thus it has been made known that it's use is unacceptable on elite.

simple.... shmimple
