I don’t get what the big deal about that word is. The Brits use it way more flippantly than we do and there are plenty of cases like this one where it is perfectly applicable.

It should not be a big deal - no bigger than calling someone an arsehole. Calling her a cunt is an accurate representation of my view of her behaviour, as it is for musk, trump, putin etc
This part of the thread kind of encapsulates my own somewhat vague comment hahaha
Don’t you know it’s because women are viewed as vile and unclean?
I don’t view women as vile and unclean…
You misunderstood. People who think the word is so horrible see women as vile and unclean.
Ah. Ok gotcha.
It's misogynistic. And misogyny is part of the problem that leads to fascism and oligarchy. Why insult others by denigrating their genitals? There are so many other things about this woman that are vulnerable to attack.
The truth is that we voted for a black male president for eight years so it’s not really about race is it?
What does that have to do with my comment? And who is "we"?
I guess you’ll just have to go through all of your posts one by one until you can figure it out. 😆
There is just one. You can't just explain your point? Interesting.
In the UK and Ireland the word is used to describe an unpleasant or objectionable person, regardless of gender. That’s how I would use it here. Her genitals have nothing to do with why I would refer to her as such.
Well done with the Wikipedia search. But why you describe an unpleasant person with a derogatory word for the vulva? Because we are living in a misogynistic society. Reproducing these expressions does not help to overcome this misogyny. Language changes thinking.
We describe unpleasant people by calling them dicks too 🤷🏻♂️ I get what you’re saying, but I’m not calling her that because I hate women. I’m calling her that because she’s a horrible human being.
You use this misogynstic word cause we live in a misogynistic society. "Dick" shouldn't also be used but the term is far removed from the drastic nature of the intensity of the insult, as is the case with c**t. And that is the case in many languages around the world.
