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

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?

I'm offended that you are offended OP.

Have you tried nethunz?
No cunts there. Oh no Grin

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 01/05/2015 22:33

We use 'broccoli' as an 'alternative swear word

I'm not sure I wanted to associate broccoli with my sacred cunt.

A floret might break off up there Shock

JeanneDeMontbaston · 01/05/2015 22:35

Ooh, ooh! Can I be the first to say it?

WorraLiberty · 01/05/2015 22:36

I just showed this thread to my DH and he wants to know what time I'm open for worship Shock

wigglesrock · 01/05/2015 22:36

I use cunt quite a bit, usually for inanimate objects and as a descriptive term, as in my cunting car wouldn't start again, can't say it bothers me much on a forum.

fattymcfatfat · 01/05/2015 22:36

Grin sacred cunt.
Jesus Christ what a bunch of funny cunts you lot are being tonight. OP you may find it easier to accept if you just. go with the flow and accept that some people truly are cunts

ParkingFred · 01/05/2015 22:37

I am very fond of profanity, and like the word cunt.

I wasn't aware my bits were sacred. I must tell my dh.

badtime · 01/05/2015 22:37

(Actually, I have seen sacred cunt statues in the British Museum. Of course, they are actually known as yonis ...)

WorraLiberty · 01/05/2015 22:37

magimedi yes they could well be a tall type of cunt Grin

ChestyNut · 01/05/2015 22:39

Really bad? Cunt statues? Shock

You've probably gathered this by now, but being new to MN I think I should warn you this isn't going to end well.

OTOH it's heartwarming to see so many cunts on one thread. Grin

magimedi · 01/05/2015 22:40

Worra - are you not being a bit sizeist?

Please, please, think of the vertically challenged - and the goats/children/trees/ice creams etc etc ad inf.

SacredCunt · 01/05/2015 22:41

badtime I was at the British Museum myself earlier this week.
It was a bit embarrassing, I felt like Kylie at Madame Tussauds

But there are proper sacred cunt statues out there.

WorraLiberty · 01/05/2015 22:43

I would magimedi but I'm far too much of a cunt for that.

I will however think of ice cream...or lemon sorbet to be more exact.

magimedi · 01/05/2015 22:43

I think a little musical interlude is called for:

magimedi · 01/05/2015 22:44

Lemon sorbet!!
