		<description>I don&#039;t really find any words offensive. I find plenty of people offensive that&#039;s different.  :mrgreen:</description>

		<description>You probably already know how I feel about that word. I adore it!

Even look at the way the two words are used as insults:

Cunt=heinous bitch, evil cow, AKA a woman who isn&#039;t afraid to piss people off.

Pussy=sissy, wimp, milquetoast. 

I&#039;d rather be a bitch than a doormat. And I&#039;d far rather be a cunt than a pussy, any day of the week.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d rather read &quot;vagina&quot; than a silly euphemism like &quot;the flower of her womanhood&quot; or - my personal favourite - &quot;the fist of her femininity&quot;, but that&#039;s just me. 

As for &quot;C U next Tuesday&quot; in &lt;i&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/i&gt;, I just found it funny that they left the euphemism in untranslated, even though 95% of the audience would not have understood it. As for the actual word &quot;cunt&quot;, it just occurred to me that since I&#039;ve only seen the dubbed version it might have been lost in translation. As far as I recall, &lt;i&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/i&gt; always used the German equivalent to &quot;pussy&quot; (similarly ugly), never the equivalent to &quot;cunt&quot;. 

&lt;i&gt;Queer As Folk&lt;/i&gt; is the only TV show where I&#039;ve actually heard the word &quot;cunt&quot; said.</description>

		<description>And I just don&#039;t get that! It&#039;s like, we&#039;ve been told the word is ugly so we assume it is, when it actually isn&#039;t. I really dislike that the acceptable word is the one that reduces us to children (&quot;pussy&quot;) but the clear one is considered horrible. And yeah...&quot;cumdumpster&quot; is just awful. &quot;Dumpster&quot;? That&#039;s really less offensive than cunt?</description>

		<description>Thanks Psynde! I actually think it could have been better--you know me--but I was limited a bit by word count as well.  :smile:</description>

		<description>Oooh, that&#039;s very clever! I actually think &quot;quaint&quot; isn&#039;t bad, either, but I&#039;m afraid people wouldn&#039;t know what I&#039;m talking about, lol.</description>

		<description>Yeah, I&#039;m really not a fan of pussy. I think it belittles women, to be honest; it&#039;s a silly, diminutive word. I hate the way my mouth crinkles up when I say it and the sibilance of it. It&#039;s just bad.

To be fair, the C-U-Next-Tuesday was a character point; Charlotte is fairly prissy so it was supposed to illustrate that. SATC has used the word before, but yes, every use generally illustrates the &quot;women don&#039;t like that word&quot; trope, which I think is a shame, since they could have stood up for it and started to reclaim it.

As for &quot;vagina,&quot; I just don&#039;t like it in sex scenes. I&#039;m not a fan of any clinical words in sex scenes, though; I don&#039;t use &quot;penis&quot; either. There&#039;s nothing wrong with it as a word, but I think if you use it in sex scenes you run the risk of sounding like you&#039;re giving a lecture in Health class.

Thanks! :)</description>

		<description>Call me a guy, but used in writing sex scenes, the C word is a teriffic tool.  I love the Chaucer meaning!</description>
