To be offended by the use of this word in many threads?

[Sugarsandwich]

I am new to MN and tbh I am shocked by the regular use of the C word in many threads, using it as a term of abuse for (very often) men who have behaved appalingly towards their partners. It's not that I am against swearing in general, it just seems odd that a community of forward thinking supportive women would choose to use a word that actually means a normal, natural, sacred part of female anatomy to describe such vile and reprehensible men. Can anyone think of a creative alternative word to use instead?

Do you mean cunt?

We use 'broccoli' as an 'alternative swear word' - worth a try

I think YABU. It is a collection of four letters, is it really worth getting that worked up about?

Wankbadger.
HTH

Sacred?

Yes

But I like using the words cunt, dick and tit.

Sacred? Wow.

I mean, I like mine, but I wouldn't go that far!

C word? Do you mean cat, or cunnilingus ?

I prefer a good hybrid.
Twunt, for example.

Well, I like cunt, but you could try quim instead? Someone has MewlingQuim as a name, which is rather charming.

"... sacred part of female anatomy"

Your cunt is sacred?

Does it have special powers?

I prefer cunt to fanjo

When people type cunt a appreciate their anger and venom ...
When people type fanjo I feal anger and venom (and vomit)

Cunts a term of endearment round these parts too. I guess it depends on what sort of threads draw a person.

Cockwomble .

its true the c word is over used. I am now having to use thundercunt to get the point across

Where's Brian when you need a Friday night yoni?

Swearing is allowed on MN.

I don't use the word myself, but wouldn't dream of telling others not too.

And mine's not sacred (nor profane).

sacred
Missed that bit

Sacred? Are vagines sacred?

Names for men's sacred bits also get used as terms of abuse though, don't they? Dick, prick, cock etc.

Genitals are weird and ugly, whichever type, so I suppose it comes naturally to people to use their nicknames as insults.

Sacred?

Do you find a lot of people on their knees in front of your cunt?

A very MN c- word is cocklodger.

We call it a woo woo.

Crossed posts with everyone else wondering about the sanctity of vaginas

YABU for thinking cunts are sacred. Your cunt may be, but my cunt is resolutely profane.
