Why is the word 'cunt' so offensive? I believe it to be one of the funniest words because of its potential to cause so much offense. It means 'vagina'. It's less offensive to call someone a 'dick' which means a 'penis'. I think that the fact the c-word is more offensive than the d-word is wrong as it implies one is worse than the other! Especially as both words are used to describe people who you don't like.
I can see why the difference in offensiveness came about, but nowadays men and women are mostly equal in rights etc but not quite. I can see a problem if the words were used metaphoricly with regards to their function, as opposed to the same thing, but to be honest, how shocking it still would be today, calling a woman a c--- implying that she is promiscuous, reflects how strongly men's and women's behaviour is percieved and evaluated differently. Why are promiscuous males lauded and females not? There are those ugly evolutionary theories I guess, but in my ideal world this would not exist.
So by calling this little kid who jumped over the wall into our backgarden to sneak around for stuff to steal a 'cunt', I am in no way meaning to be offensive to women, in fact the opposite. (However misguided I maybe)
But yeah he pretended he was looking for a ball (which would be rediculously unlikely considering the layout of the houses round the back) after I caught him, I was shocked, and I tryed to follow him and take a picture of him when he jumped back over. I only got his back though.
If that cunt comes back again I'm going to smash his head with a broken bottle.
