The one thing that really, really bothers me about the c (and the t word, although not as many people seem to know what that actually means) word is the double standard applied to swear words based on male and female anatomy. I find it incredibly offensive that a slang name for a part of me is considered to be more vulgar, more offensive, more derogatory than the slang name(s) for the closest equivilant part of male anatomy. Why are my reproductive organs more offensive than my husband's? |
I don't like the "p" and "d" word anymore than I like the "c" word. I just commented on it because someone had posted the "c" word count of a book in progress.
Edited to add: I do find the "c" word more 'jarring' when I come across it, probably because I'm a woman. I hope that makes sense.
