Is it ever acceptable for women to tell men to fuck off?

[RedToothBrush]

Or does it make us look unintelligent, unreasonable, unkind, irrational or uncouth so we shouldn't do it?

Should we care about this?

Aaron could go boil his head - of course we can tell people who very much need to fuck off to actively fuck the fuck off.

Nicola Sturgeon and her absolute nonsense pitching herself as the victim definitely needs to fuck the fuck off

I’m hoping you’re joking here…but if not, and this is seriously how you feel, then you really should try it! All language is just that, language! Having a good old ‘fuck off’ rant is sometimes appropriate!!

Yes, there’s ‘other words’ we could use, but telling an absolute COCK to ‘oh do stop being mean to me’ is a) not going to be effective, and b) not going to feel HALF as good as telling them to FUCK OFF YOU ABSOLUTE WANKER!

Use these fabulous words sparingly for an even greater effect…the wanker will know you mean business!

I wish you had told him to F off too. What an arrogant, entitled little bastard he is! Awful!

I even tell my kids to fuck off! It’s very cathartic.

(context - they are adults and it’s usually in jest).

I think many retelling of stories where people calmly, politely, rationally put their point across and leave their opponent speachless, are a load of bollocks.

Either nothing was said, or it was a screaming match.

I was threatened with violence by two teenage boys. (One made the verbal threat; the other stood behind him.)

I got out of the situation by yelling “Drop dead, shit features!”

It wasn’t the expected response and it stopped them in their tracks.

Sometimes, rudeness is both appropriate and necessary.

I always remember Helen Mirren saying in an interview,

Women have got to stop being polite. If I ever had children, which I don’t, the first thing I’d teach a girl of mine is the words “fuck off”.

This.

No it’s never acceptable to tell anyone to fuck off because it’s rude and there are better ways of dealing with things - doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman

This way of girls/women behaving - as they are brought up to do - can make rape be twisted by courts and perpetrators into something apparently consensual.

It is always acceptable for a woman to tell men to fuck off.

Or does it make us look unintelligent, unreasonable, unkind, irrational or uncouth so we shouldn't do it?

None of the above.

Should we care about this?

No.

If men, or indeed anyone, does not like being told to fuck off don't behave in ways which will result in you being told to do so.

Depends on circumstances. Personally I virtually never swear as I find it pretty common and cheap, but in a circumstance when I really have to establish my authority with someone who is a bully/violent/steps way over the mark, I will use such carefully chosen words. At this point the other person understands they have crossed a line. Woman saying it to a man, certainly if the circumstances demand but not as a general thing.

😂

No but it still Isn’t necessary to say that to someone.

Not joking but yea I love a good swear word.

How exceptionally rude and vulgar and completely uncalled for - exactly the point I was making .

What are you on about. Seriously.

It absolutely is.

When my mother was 14 and working in Edinburgh (wartime) she was approached by a strange man who asked "Do you want to earn yourself 10 bob?" [No, he wasn't offering her a job.]

She yelled "Bugger off!" and ran back to her place of work.

There's definitely people who need to be told to fuck off. Though mostly I say it under my breath at work when called away from my job. A certain someone I'll say it loud and proud to though.

Women should do it more often tbh.

Simply this.

I am in favour of reasoned arguments over telling people to fuck off. But the GC crowd have plenty of reasoned arguments on FWR, and still some people think don't understand why we're angry.

In this instance though you were saying FO to Nicola Sturgeon, not the other poster, is that right? So to a woman, not a man? But a man told you off for it?

Anyway, I feel so insulted by Nicola's gratuitous "racist, homophobic, misogynist, transphobic" comments that she can indeed FOTTFSOFATFOSM.

Often, when necessary, and with feeling.

In a mixed sex changing room, long before gender had even been thought of, a man came at me with an intention I was not willing to wait to find out. He was naked. A very loud and swift "FUCK OFF" was enough to have him scuttling away like the snivelling cunt he was.

Yes, it is acceptable. Of course. Sadly it doesn't always work.

I startled my dear mother (who disapproved of sweary language) once long ago when we were on a weekend cultural trip to London and an over-insistent beggar (posh accent, expensive glasses) started walking very very close beside me demanding money. I said no thank you once. I said no thank you twice. Then I turned round and said F O loudly, which was extra effective since he was only about a foot away.

He was startled too, and whined, poshly, about how rude some people are.

My mother was unexpectedly amused.

After saying, no thanks, then no, Fuck Off is the most logical next step.

How about when I was being followed through town late at night as a young woman with nobody else around? Do you think I should have had a polite conversation with that man?
