in thinking this really was quite an offensive way of speaking

[MAMAZON]

stood in line at the local shop earlier. two workmen in front of me chatting, seemingly about some girl they met at the weekend.

one said to the other "yeah she weren't too bad on the eyes either" to which the second replied " yeah but did you see her when she sat down? i got a right eyefull of her hatchet wound"

now i am by no means fragile feminist but omg i found that term quite disgusting.

makes me shudder to think of teh conversatinos they have in private and indeed the opinion they have of women in general.

Yep I'd say that's right! It's cringeworthy rather than funny because of the pain connotations. No feminism required to get that.

Not a great term of endearment I have to say but, I find gash far more objectionable. Actually I find it more objectionable than cunt.

PW damn damn you got there before me - exactly what I was about to say, but would add that it also has a touch of misogynist repulsion at 'bleeding' womanhood.

I would, actually, have rather they'd said cunt, but agree that since they weren't alone, they should have SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THEIR LOATHSOME WOMAN-HATING FUCKWITTERY.

Sorry for being quite so shouty, but this kind of thing makes me soooo angry.

I really believe that men who say things like that are aware of who's listening, and that on some level it's intended to be overheard. It's part of a collective, sometimes conscious, sometimes unconscious, desire to make women feel uncomfortable at best and scared at worst.

Really. I know I'm probably going to have people saying I'm a ludicrously paranoid femimentalist, but this is historically one of the means by which dominant groups stay dominant.

Also, they probably had extremely small penises-like acorns

LOL darling, I do love your neologisms - 'femimentalist'.

Quite right about using these terms as a means of subjugation I think.

BTW, where is your cock thread?

eewww, cock thread yick yick yick

Steel yourself..

i am ROFL @ lazarou

me too, lazarou, 'like acorns' is so very specific!

ranting i am so with you on gash, really upsets me. cunt i have no probem with at all. hatchet wound is a bit offensive for reasons mentioned re connontations of violence. nb - my DH is a teacher and his make students use gash to mean a collection of one or more fit girls

I love these threads. It's what mn is all about!
