I find the "c" word to be the worst insult that can be thrown at me. I consider myself a feminist (sorry brightstar) and I associate with forward-thinking people, and every one of the females finds that word as offensive as I do. I don't say it, I won't type it because it is so repulsive to me. You may not find the word offensive, I and many others do. And it doesn't matter who says it, in whatever context it may be. Sorta like all the other words tossed around here today - ask a black, a jew, an hispanic how they would feel if those names were thrown at them. To me, it is more than a word, it is a rather crass way of trying to diminish me.
