Is the "C-word" really that offensive to women? Or have women over the years just given it power by reacting so offended when called a cunt? Cunt is just a word...like kyke, jap, mick, chink...right? C-U-Next-Tuesday!!!

Hm, I don't find it offensive and certainly not as it's used in the film. It's actually quite funny there. But that's just me, I guess a balance between sense of humour and self-importance will be hard to strike for some people. Oh well, life's tough. :-)

Check out Cunt: A Declaration of Independence - it's supposed to be quite good on this subject, though it may just be intellectual guff...

I don't find the word offensive at all, and I use it several times a day myself.

Shit, I toss the C-bomb around the house every now and then.

Course my wife beats the living crap out of me afterwards, but hey what else are they there for if not to keep us huddled in the fetal position until we meet our maker.

Cee U Next Tuesday
