    Gotta say I’m kinda shocked at the amount of people adamant that they’re right to call women cunts. Do you also fight for your right to drop nbombs or other racial slurs, or is it just women were allowed to slander? If cunt and bitch are ok, can we also call them whores and sluts? Is there a line we don’t cross?

    Please explain as it seems I’m too stupid to understand the nuance here

      It’s just not as deep as you’re making it out to be. He called her a cunt because she is siding with Trump. Her gender has nothing to do with it.

      The focus here is Danielle Smith has refused to condemn Trumps actions, grow up.

      Is it derogatory or misandry to call a male a prick, knob, cock, or dick? its the same thing as calling a female a cunt.

      People just like to act like special snowflakes. Fuck em all

      We’re just being egalitarian. Cunt is not gender specific as anyone can be a cunt, even animals. Nbombs and racial slurs aren’t remotely the same so not sure why you’d bring that up. Maybe it is because you are too stupid to understand. I don’t know but the fact that you’re so sensitive about calling a woman a cunt is quite interesting. Bitch, Dick are both the same. I’ll use them how I want to.

          I call my male friends cunt’s from time to time, can’t say I’ve ever used it towards a female. if you really think it’s an insult you should try living in Australia.
