Watch your step women, or you could be a cunt, or cum guzzling whore, too if TRex or Pach decide you aren’t toeing the line.

well, for that matter, so could they be, if their hetmasters decide -they- aren’t toeing the line. which, i suspect they know all too very well.

Yes indeed, Rexy, they like you, they REALLY like you. Now: fetch!

I did not realize this whole reclaimation-of-a-word thing was so confusing. On what planet is it “reclaiming” a word to use it the same way it’s always been used, with the same nastiness… What, just because you’re gay makes it alright??? Wow, he seriously thought that? I can’t believe you had to write this post. ugh.

Appropriate ways to reclaim “cunt” might, for example, involve enthusiastic declarations of affection for that particular body part during times of sweaty nakedness with someone you love (or just get dirty with). Personally, I rather enjoy tossing it around in that context. Seems easy enough to understand the difference between that though, and hurling it at a Congresswoman you despise.

I know I read this post yesterday (?) but then went to Zuzu’s without checking out the comments here first, or stopping to say thank you for this great piece of writing.

Perhaps FDL needs an alternative name, one where the D stands for diaspora. Apparently, there’s a huge readership that they have alienated. I am no longer alone!!!

I want to take you to…GINEY-TOWN!

(I had to do it once.)

I agree with using ‘cunt’ as a word to actually, well, refer to my genitalia. Largely because the etymology of the word ‘vagina’ really freaking bugs me, and I think cunt has the kind of punchiness and powerful sound that seems fitting.

I use “giney-town,” personally.

FDL’s bloggers and commentators and mods (oh, my!) rushing over to Tom W’s blog to whine “We didn’t meeeean THAT!” and “OMG YOU CAN’T SAY THAT!” is pathetic.

Before you can turn venom into medicine, there are certain things you’ve got to do, certain processes and procedures that must be completed, certain guidelines that must be followed, certain precautions that must be taken. Lacking those controls, venom isn’t medicine, it’s still venom.
