These sort of conversations are always pointless - any word is acceptable or unacceptable entirely depending on circumstances. You can call someone a pussy or a dick or whatever without it having a deeper meaning or it being against women or men, and without it having any more power than any other word. Its all in who says it, who its said to, how its said, the reason for saying it, etc etc.
Having said that, I never use the word pvssy (except in the bedroom) because I don't feel it is a good insult. I like lady parts. I prefer them to men parts. Why would I use something I like as an insult lol? Also, its a soft word, unlike the C word, which is hard.
Actually, the last few years I have found non swear insults much more powerful. Calling someone a total idiot or a fool is way more cutting that "you dumb muthafucker" because swearing, in general, has become so common. Of course, it depends on how you say it, but doesn't everything? And having said that, carefully enunciating the C word, as in "you sir, are a prize C" is probably the king of the insults. Is that anti women? I don't know, i have never thought of it as such. I have always thought of it as anti the person I am saying to to lol.
@hayworth, i feel like at this point, even if this thread turned into a well thought out debate about sexism and the use of slurs like pussy, dick, cunt, etc., you would just blow it all off, tell us to take the stick out of our asses and roll on by.
if you are willing to have a debate about the sexism here, by all means, take the floor.
I will. When I have some time to spend this weekend I will for sure
In all honestly I've basically stopped using gendered language when it comes to insults. I believe behavior that warrants such an insult tends to cross gender lines, so why restrict the pejorative to something specific to male or female? That said, I still use "dick" from time to time and I don't feel too bad about it.

I'm probably in the minority because I'm never really offended by someone referring to me as genitalia (fuck, call me a penis and see if I care). But I am offended by the gross misuse of the word pussy to describe anything as weak. See the follow Hal Sparks quote:
“I disagree with the use of the word "Pussy" to describe a weak person. Because the Vagina is the tougher of the two genitals. Think about it. It can pass something 50 times it's size through it. You can pound on it for hours and it goes "More! More!" It Bleeds every month and it Won't Die! It's like the Predator! Meanwhile my Penis.. If it gets cold or there's a fight he's like "I'm outta here!" What I'm trying to say is... My Dick is a Pussy.”
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
I've reached a point where swear words are like porn. I can no longer use just one because it isn't harsh enough for me, so now I string together a bunch of swear words. My current favorite string is "shit fuck piss," so apparently I have a bodily function fetish.

Yeah, that's kind of how I feel about it.
I dislike the term pussification anyway. Because it implies that it's somehow offensive for culture to gentle itself. By god, what is the world coming to when we expect men to have feelings and treat people with more deference than they have in previous generations? The shock, yo. THE SHOCK!
This is particularly insulting to me as the wife and child of military folks, where "manning up" has historically brought far more pain and misery to people than it should have.
My husband has never, and will never use any word that is derogatory towards women. Ever. That includes bitch, slut, ho, whore, pussy, cunt, etc.
He won't even jokingly call a woman a jezebel.
Not in your presence anyway he doesn't.
Excuse me? I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt on the board, but you can fuck right off. It's not your place to question my husband's character. Full stop. I would use the word cunt before he would.
You are way the over the line in so many ways. If this is the perspective and variety of opinion you want to bring to the board, you can crawl back in to whatever hole you came from.

Struck a nerve eh? Any man that claims to NEVER use any word that is a slang reference toward females is lying. Or he just doesn't have one single solitary male friend.

No, you just made a completely idiotic and ignorant statement that was not only wrong, but completely inappropriate. It must be sad to live in your narrow world where this viewpoint is true. I feel sorry for YOU that these are the men YOU associate with.

H's friends say it, but he doesn't. He is more militant about it than me. I've actually had to tell him to chill a little on it. He also goes off on friends for using "retarded" as a slur. He's big on words. I don't see why someone has to use certain words in order to have friends.
But thats just who he is. It doesn't make him better than anyone else. Its just who he is and what is important to him. He will drop f bombs and such, which I do not. So we each have our thing.

So you know all the men ever. That's kind of impressive. So which slang does Obama prefer? What about Brad Pitt? Will Smith?

That's fine. Your husband is still lying to you.
You are so totally right. Mmmkay. Whatever. Thank you for your diverse and varied viewpoint.
I would really hope though, that if he was going to lie to me, it would be about something more interesting than that. Because really? He could do better in the lie department.

No, Irish. He's lying to you. He leaves the house and immediately says those words to every woman he sees.

Well you sound totally easy going and like a lot of fun, so I'm sure he's not lying to you about anything else either.

My husband never curses or uses slang. But tonight, after I "choke on his dick" at hayworth's direction, I plan to accuse him of hiding his secret shameful habit of using cuss words, slang like pussy, and other derogatory terms for females from me.
