I don't want to come off as half-cocked, but the gent's correct, cunt *should* have been accorded, verily, the same vulgar status all these yeares.

I think it's an interesting discussion. I think Duncan correctly highlights the fact that in American usage, cunt* is so obscene precisely because it lost its applicability to men and therefore became something which no white knight male should ever use against a woman. A kind of doubled sexism.
ReplyDelete* - etymologically related to "coney," as in rabbit, because (apparently) Roman soldiers thought of vagina as rabbit holes.
