To me, the word "cunt" is as offensive as the "N-word" is to black people. It's a word that's exclusively directed at my gender and has no relevance to any personal characteristics other than being a woman. It's basically saying all a woman is is her vagina, like saying all a black person is is the color of their skin. (Before I get 10,000 responses about other examples, it's just a common one people hear. I know there are other oppresive words besides "cunt" and the "N-word" (I don't like saying it. Or typing it. It's rude.) No need to give me alllll the other similar words.) But anybody can be a dumbass, or a bastard, or a fuck face. Words like cunt are meant as derogatory statements towards women alone. Yes, you can say it to a man, but when you do, you're comparing him to a woman in a way that's meant to insult him...and what does that say about how you feel about women?
