Nah. He wouldn't. I've been taking jiu jitsu classes. I could take him. :x
Sometimes. So it's mostly BS... maybe bendy BS, as opposed to straight...
That might have been a little chuckle worthy.
And FTR, writing out "the c-word" as you did, doesn't carry the weight of the actual word. Well, at least for me.
You don't understand. For women, it's on par. And if you think thousands of women aren't being held down and called that on a regular basis here and now, you're really misinformed. And FTR, OUR society is where we live. It doesn't matter what they say in Great Britain... because we don't live there. You're basically saying that because you don't find it offensive, it shouldn't bother women.
I don't mind answering the question. For most of the women I know, myself included, it's the single worst thing you could call us. It's demeaning, denigrating, and says you have no value as a human being. It means you're filth.
The worst part about this is that, as a woman who's been participating on this forum for a lot of years, and has done a fair amount to help a lot of people, most of whom I don't know, you wouldn't think it would be asking too much to ask the men around here to find another word that's less repellent and disgusting.
Instead, I'm being told that I don't know what I'm talking about. Hey, it's a great word- they use it in England! You just need to know the right time to use it! They use it more than fuck!
Seriously? You guys are going to argue with me, and tell me- a woman- that I'm wrong in how I- a woman- feels when that word is used about/against women? :facepalm
Guys... this isn't England. It's NOT just a word. And the fact that whenever a gender-bias debate starts roiling around here on the forum, there are far too many guys that think it's ok to tell the women who post up- over and over- expressing their feelings about it, that their feelings are wrong, that they're over-reacting, is just disheartening. That's the kind of thing that makes women leave this place. That's being dismissive. That's being a dick.
As to why there isn't a word that evokes the same response in men, I don't know why. I know there's no word about my race that someone could call me that would be particularly wounding, yet the n-word is a horrible thing to call someone of color.
So yeah... long response, but I hope that answers your question.
Lastly, guys, you don't have to understand why it's such an issue... just accept that it is, and try to show a little empathy. That's all. Easy peasy!
