What is it about this word? (NSFW)
I am referring to the word "cunt"
I have found in my personal experience that Americans take great insult and show disgust at it's utterance.
It's meaning is a woman's genitals, other words for this area don't cause as much butt-hurt, such as pussy, flange, sugar basin, bone yard, sausage wallet, wizards sleeve, hatchet mark, bearded clam, cock socket and so on.
Where I am from it's just part of the vernacular, although most swear words are not used in every situation they are used a lot when talking amongst friends, if anyone does get offended it's usually women.
How do they objectify women? Maybe if you call one a cunt, but even then, what happens if you call a man a cunt? Calling a man a dick isn't objectifying a man, is it? No? Why not? Don't be brainless. It depends on what they mean. If you tell someone "You're a piece of shit" or "You're nothing but a cunt to be used" or "You're nothing but a dick for cunts" THEN you're objectifying someone. A lot of Americans say the word cunt... you are on the outside looking in, my friend. I've heard all kinds of hilarious generalizations about Americans from outside sources. "Cunt" is only nasty to some because it means vagina. Except, it sounds even nastier. Somehow. Some people just think it sounds nasty. Kinda like how I think the word "tit" for boobs makes it sound nasty. 1
