I don't even want to type it, it's just such a gross, insulting, rude word.
Never. Besides the connotation, it just isn't a very good word for releasing anger. Not like **** or ****. I just don't use two-syllable expletives in general.

I called one of my bosses at an old job an asshole before (to his ugly fucking face, no less), have openly used the word "cunt" to describe an unpleasant person, and will tell you exactly how the fuck I feel about something, you fucking piece of shit, but using homophobic language is off limits.
Dude, cunt is almost as derogatory towards women as faggot is to gays. It implies that there is something so inferior about a certain people that associating someone with them is profane. It may not imply that women are unnaturally abhorrent, but calling someone a cunt or a bitch or a pussy is denying any sort of masculinity, which apparently is almost the lowest thing you can imply of someone (not to mention that faggot is often used interchangeably with those words).

Totally disagree.

It may not be culturally perceived as such, but besides the fact that women are a historically accepted part of society, what's really different about the implication? Calling someone a cunt means the same thing as calling them a faggot (unless of course you're just saying someone is gay.) What you're really saying is that someone exemplifies everything that is negative about not being masculine.

I like to call women assh*les when they're being assh*les. Takes the sexism right out of the equation.

Then, one of our members gets offended and the excuse of "Oh, I wasn't using it sexually" was thrown in. That's f*cking bullsh*t.

That's like saying "Hey John, I'm glad your mom is dead. OH JUST KIDDING LOLZ"

It's offensive that way he used it. I didn't mean to call out the mods. I actually like JWB. I just don't like that particular reasoning he uses often. I was just pissed.
He's openly Bi ffs. This is the kind of thing that should be taken to PMs.

Girls can call each other bitches. Black people can call each other nigger. Spanish people can call each other spics. That's just the way society currently works.

What should you take away from this message? The vowel I is in all these words, get rid of I!

I'm not telling anybody to do anything. I don't think that that any of those words should be used. I think it's ignorant. I don't give a sh*t what he is, it's still offensive and doesn't belong on a public forum.

I would, but it just doesn't make sense. I used to call Sansa an asshole whenever I wanted to call her a bitch, just cause I figured she'd raise a stink over it, but it never felt right. You call a man an asshole. Right or wrong, it's just the way it is. So, girls are bitches. Sorry not sorry.

I'm not offended but I agree it makes him sound ignorant. Some of you give too much power to words.

Words and ideas are what make us human. They're naturally powerful, not appointed.
