    Sorry Durian Joe, but I have to disagree.

    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.
