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 agree.
Hal Sparks (a comedian) does a really funny (to me, anyway) routine about switching around the meaning of "balls" and err...the "p" word
.
Basically, he suggests folks should use the "p" word to indicate toughness, because female genitals are tough (he references giving birth and menstruation as signs of toughness).
Balls should represent weakness, because of how fragile they are (because if you even tap them, the man ends up rolling on the floor in pain).
Funny, funny stuff if you don't mind profanity from a comedian.
