Parappa09 06/01/18 6:41:11 PM #1:	The word is notably more offensive in the US than it is in the UK. While still not common parlance in Britain, it is used far more frequently, in pop culture and casual conversation, than it is across the Atlantic. In Australia, theyre even more relaxed about it. In Australia its not strictly a term of opprobrium, but can be neutral or even positive. Calling someone a good ** means theyre a decent person. Part why its considered so much more outrageous in the US than in other English-speaking countries could be down to Americas puritanical streak. Swearing, in general, is arguably not as socially acceptable in the US as elsewhere. In 2008, for example, swearwords that had been bleeped out in the original version of Gordon Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares USA, were inserted back in for a British audience. Another reason Americans are so uneasy with the word may be that it is more gendered in the US than elsewhere. In the UK and Australia, the term is unisex. See for example, Irvine Welshs Trainspotting: He really is a ay the first order. Or Samuel Becketts novel Malone Dies: They think they can confuse me Proper * whoever they are. In America, however, it is almost exclusively associated with female sexuality. As the feminist writer Kate Millett once said, reduces women to the one essential our essence our offence. It is not just a profanity in America; it is a slur. Like racial or homophobic epithets, it is designed to uphold existing power structures. This means that who is wielding the word, and who it is leveled against, are immensely important. Samantha Bee and Ivanka Trump are both white women. What Bee said to Trump is very different from, say, Ted Nugent calling Hillary Clinton a toxic . (The singer described the then-first lady in those terms in an interview with Denvers Westword magazine in 1994.) https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/jun/01/samantha-bee-ivanka-trump-c-word-america --- https://imgur.com/us5qLQb http://beta.last.fm/user/Jay92Jay <cite>Parappa09 posted [p:902390595] in i didn'...

Not the same thing.</quote> I think you're the one putting that kind of meaning behind the word.

MARKINGRAM22 06/01/18 7:04:17 PM #41:	It was never that offensive until recently when feminists wanted to get their own n word so they could get people fired and act offended. Why is the n word offensive? History. The c word has way less use in a degrading and violent scenario than tons of words.
