I think "cunt" as an alternative to something like "ladybits" isn't entirely relevant here, as the word was being used as an insult ("you worthless and annoying person") rather than as a description of the female genitals ~ I was suggesting that maybe it seems more derogatory when this word for a worthless and annoying person is applied to a woman. I wasn't for a moment suggesting that nobody might want to use the word "cunt" as a sexy or powerful word for their or someone else's genitals. Also, there's probably quite a wide scale of choice between "cunt" and "ladybits" ~ they're not the only two alternatives. But that's getting even more off-topic.
Agreed on all counts. If eidanfracar had been enjoying some hot loving with the barista, it might have been perfectly appropriate to have used the term. This is not the case, and nor is there no other word to describe a woman you don't like.
(It was questioned on p2 by Mordant I think; which I was glad to see as it made me think I wasn't the only one who had any kind of issue with the word as an insult for a female barrista ~ but the "cunts" kept flying afterwards).
Well, I think a lot of people had issues with the use of the term to describe a female barista, and many of the people who had issues with the use of the term in that way decided as a tactic to use the term as part of their means for highlighting those issues - either by employing it in a hyperbolic tirade against the barista themselves or by whimsical subversion of the meaning of eidanfracar's sentence. .trampetunia, in fact, employed both those mechanisms. Noting this is, I imagine, why MC told eidanfracar to reconsider his usage but not .trampetunia.
So, whereas, as I said above, the reception of a term cannot be entirely controlled by the user, if you feel that Mordant and you are the only people who have offered a critique of the description of a female barista as a cunt, then I think we have taken very different things from this thread. |
