Current Events > i didn't know how offensive the c-word is in america

(+) Yeah! (+)

It also depends on the area of the country. Some areas, such as the South, may find it more offensive than others.

i'm still mindblown about this

Idk, I dont gender it and I use it interchangeably with asshole/dick/bitch etc etc

you sure you're not british?

The only argument for Samantha Bee being fired is that the person definitely would be if this happened with roles reversed.

Yeah, it does make sense. Here it is a word you can hear on the tv fine and no one cares.

Heck, most people would agree if we called May one tbh.

i know right!

i've heard the c-word used more towards men in any case

i think we swear so much in general that it's lost its value/power >.>

Tbh the Samantha Bee thing is fucked up because the C-word is typically reserved for an alpha bitch or asshole here, regardless of gender.

I don't think Ivanka has a personality that would justify her C-word label whatsoever

i mean i don't think she should be fired anyway

ivanka is mad complicit with the whole trump administration and her father being a t-word

If anything, it is Samantha Bee who is acting like an entitled c-word.

The c word's probably my most used swear when I'm mad honestly. I love it. Love the way it sounds. It's effective, strong sound to start, strong sound to end. No idea why some people are absolute pussies about it.

Because in the instance of calling a man a dick, you are referring to him thinking like a dick and being inconsiderate of others and pushing your way in rudely etc. When you call a woaman the c word, it's pretty much saying her only value is her crotch area, and has no value as a person. Not the same thing.

Nah, you're wrong. I used to think this way but I realized I was wrong.

If youre offended by people using the c-word youre probably a moron.

And if you think the context of the word has any parallels to the n-word youre without a doubt a moron.

WTF What's so bad about the word lmao. It seems so foreign to me that it's used as an insult to women over there.
