I used to find the c-word more offensive, again possibly because I'm also female - but then again I know a lot of men who visibly cringe and look embarrassed if some-one utters it in their earshot.
I'm not sure when I began to find it more offensive that most people considered that part of my anatomy more offensive than the equivalent male part
But why should showing disrespect to women be more shocking than showing disrespect to men?
Interesting. I'd never actually looked up where it came from

In Italian, feminine anatomy might be employed to manifest appreciation, luck, happy outcome of an event
It makes sense. Obviously we find profit and worthy returns in treating nicely girls and alike.
Male anatomic parts are used to manifest surprise, mostly. Gonads are related to stupidity. Excreta are related to people who make damages without knowing what they are doing.
Profanity is actually profane and it makes use of words and concepts related to divinity. In the common use it is considered very base. It is a felony and can be persecuted. It is not uncommon that somebody would argue and start a fist fight with an offender. Personally, I would not mind slapping hard on the mouth somebody that curses in my presence. Unless he is old or drunk, or maimed, or sick, or just miserable looking. In spite of the fact that I am totally indifferent to what is represented. It is a tradition, like giving flowers when you are invited to dinner, or paying the bill when you ask her for an evening out. To each his own.
