That is good to hear. Hopefully this cunt will be in prison for a huge chunk of their life.

No, no. A cunt has depth and warmth and I don’t think the attacker in this case has either.

One of my standard two comments on the use of that word.

The other one is about the ability to take a pounding.

So in a conversation about someone commiting a hate crime based on someones genetalia you decide to use a term specifically used to debase people by calling them female genetalia and it seems people even upvote you for it. Great. And you even think you are being supportive.

look, it’s a word most american women don’t hear directed at themselves outside of really hateful or abusive contexts. i have been called “bitch” in the grocery store. i was called “cunt” by my abuser, and only by him.

the person who challenged you has a good point - the use of that word in american culture is intended to be particularly dehumanizing and degrading to women.

compare - if you had used “n…” you would have likely been challenged there as well, regardless of your intent in using that word or your own identity.

That word is used as a generic colorful adjectives in the UK, and are considered gender-neutral there.
