You are thinking of the term "son-of-a-bitch" (a term that is almost never directed at a person these days). The term motherfucker doesn't imply anything about a person's mother (and it never has), unless you call me a motherfucker, and attribute that to mean that my son's mother gets fucked in the good way.

I always felt great whenever I was called a motherfucker by either a man or a woman. Being a bad ass motherfucker, or B A M, is a good thing. Just ask Samuel L Jackson.

Sorry, I meant to write vulva, not volva. My apologies to anyone who has a vulva. And I hope, with all my soul, that I have not displeased any of you.

Like 85-90% of men I am big, big, big fan of the vagina, the volva, and the clitoris (in fact I have said I worship the clitoris), and as such am also a fan of the words cunt, pussy, beaver, puntang, bearded clam, and etc. In fact those words and the word orgasm kind of give me an electrical excitement when I hear them uttered by women.

There just words, and the words themselves aren't the problem, but how they are used can be hurtful or degrading. But when attacking the usage, be sure to address your wrath against the users and not the words themselves. I am a big fan of free speech (almost as much as I am of the clitoris), and I don't want to see any word banned, including the word nigger, but I will show my wrath to any racist scum how uses the word nigger to hurt or degrade someone.

The word cunt is also sometimes applied to men, and the word is more degrading and hurtful when it is applied to them than when it is applied to women.

The difference between male and female directed insults is that most men take pride in being called most male directed insults (such as dick, prick, asshole, gigolo, and pig), where as women almost never take pride in being called a female directed insult (cunt, bitch, slut, whore, and etc).

Douchebag, pussy and homophobic terms are the exceptions among male directed insults, in that almost no man will ever take pride in being called a douchebag, a pussy or a homophobic term, and douchebag and pussy are male directed insults as they are far more commonly directly at men than at women (so are most homophobic terms, but not all of them).

I am a big fan of the words motherfucker and cocksucker as well.

Perhaps someday women will take pride is displeasing men, as much as men take pride in displeasing women.

Durian, I love you like a brother, but I have to disagree.

"I'm revolted by the people here who are defending the use of this slur against women. It is exactly like calling a black person a "nigger," or a Jew (as I am) a "kike," or a gay man a "faggot," or so on."

As I said, the word cunt doesn't give a racial distinction, and it can be applied to straight women, bisexual women, or lesbians. Also a woman doesn't always have to be a cunt, she can redeem herself.

Just as a man doesn't always have to be a douchebag.

You wrote

"No one yet has come up with an equivalent insult to cunt that is routinely applied to white males and has the same level of insult."

Yes we do; the word is "douchebag." Though it is applied to all males, not just white males, just like CUNT applies to all women, not just white women.

But I need to clarify the meanings of both terms as they pertain to speech. Cunt is applied to a woman that will stab you in the back, or will use her sexual appeal to cause you trouble. For example; Condi Rice is a cunt because she help lie to get authorization to invade Iraq, which has killed thousands of our best and brightest service men and women

Douchebag is a dim witted male that expressed his ignorance, illogical prejudices (not that prejudice is ever logical), homophobia, or misogyny in his behavior, character, or by what he spouts. For example; Rush is a Douchebag (enough said).

Both words have their importance, thought you can't say Hillary Clinton is a cunt without offering proof (has she stabbed anyone in the back or used her sexual appeal to cause someone trouble?), but you can say all the guys who wear the C.U.N.T or "I love cunt-tree music" t-shirts are definitely douchebags.

"After Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, he and Rezko's wife bought adjoining pieces of property, then she turned around and sold him hers for just a fraction of what she'd paid for it."

The truth is that the Obamas bought one sixth of the vacant lot that Rezko's wife owned at one sixth of the price that Rezko's wife had paid for the entire lot. The house is the Obama's residential home, and they bought the one sixth of the vacant lot to extent a walk way.

The rest of the report is factually accurate, but you failed to mention that Tony Rezko was a huge player in both Illinois and Chicago politics, and gave money to just about every Democratic candidate in his district, and quite a lot to governor Blagojevich (in fact he is more associated with Blagojevich than with Obama).

Tony Rezko wanted to be big inside man in Illinois and wield substantial influence over government in Illinois, but Illinois politicians and lobbyist refused to play ball with him, which is why he is now indicted.

I don't want to get into too many details, but there are a lot more dubious characters in Clinton's fund raising past than Rezko, and I have no doubt that Clinton would have accepted his money before the scandals surrounding Rezko broke (just like every other Democrat did).
