it ' s implying womanhood , right ? In the nagbitch sense rather than the effeminatepussy sense . No , no no . I just don ' t see how you can make that link . It ' s using a taboo word , it just happens to be a taboo word . But you ' ve come to the crux of the matter I don ' t see how you can help think it implies womanhood . You are more than just your cunt right ? Why would you assume that is implying womanhood whereas being a cock or an asshole or a turd doesn ' t . I mean , what profound attribute for you apply to asshole ? Could it just be that taboo thing have become swear words ? And that ' s no deeper meaning than that ? When you apply it to women , it just seems so openly and aggressively vile . I don ' t know if you can really defend it as an insult and not just an anatomical term , but for me there ' s a world of difference between using it to describe John Howard and using it to describe Julia Gillard . One you can play off as a kind of blokey take em down a peg ribbing . The other ' s just brutal . The second someone calls a woman a cunt and not as a mate I just freeze up . I don ' t know what to tell you then ? Sounds like you you are suffering because of a particular belief you hold .
