Why do Girls think they can use these words (Dick/Prick) but when a Guy says Cunt... Every Girl in the world stops and stares?

In my opinion dont dish out what you can't take..

By the way Dick is a derogatory term for a MAN and Cunt is a derogatory term for a Woman. So why are there so many hypocrites who think Men shouldn't be able to say it?

I only just realised this especially Americans can't seem to handle the word but in the UK it's not so bad.

I only realised this when a freind of mine called her boyfriend A Dick and he called her a Cunt and the girls in our group kept saying he went to far. They literally have the same type of meaning.
I find it stupid that it's some sort of taboo. Because surely Pussy would be a taboo but it's not.

A lot of women in the US think that the absolute WORST thing you could ever, EVER call a woman is a cunt. The word itself is beyond the pale for them, even girls who would call someone a pussy without a second thought, much less "dick" or "asshole."

The word is MUCH more commonly used in the UK, and so it has much less of a stigma there.

Why? Who really knows exactly. And, of course it makes no sense.

I know a number of girls who just LOVE to use the word "cunt" just because of the "offense factor" and their ability to shock and surprise others with the use of the word.

You made me look up the etymology of "beyond the pale". Thanks! :)

Lol, 'Cunt' is such a funny word.

I call my colleagues ''Fucking cunt'' all the time. So, I see no big deal with it personally.

Perhaps its just a British thing? I don't know..

If it makes you feel any better, I'm from North America and I call men Cunts and Pussies all the time. Some women also really do act like Dicks *myself sometimes, for example. So I'm an equal opportunity name caller. I'm not sure how reproductive parts became such scapegoats for disdain but there you have it.

[AmberlyQuynh]

you are very rational and smart. thank you! even if it's used in sexual terms, I've never minded any one of my girlfriends calling my pussy a cunt! in fact, I like the "dirty" and "taboo" factor that goes with it. it kinda makes me more turned on!

[Cmasterson]

I never thought the word "cunt" was too much, I guess where I grew up it was fairly normal and on the same level as those words, and also used between friends to compliment them haha.

[abundantlyrich]

Dick is a name for a man too. It wasn't a swear word but some how it has become one.

[churbleburble78]

When my relationship was fading (with my ex), we tried dirty talk during sex

I told her "I loved fucking her cunt" - and she didn't seem to mind!

[Philyouup]

except in the Ireland. Cunt is used like bitch.. some times as a friendly piss take like "You lucky cunt"

[nasty4fun]

Guys don't really care and women do.

'Cunt' is more rude. Girls don't react so much to 'pussy' or 'snatch', I suppose 'beaver' and 'muff' aren't in much use now with everybody shaving to look like a porn star.
