I can't really find a totally appropriate thread so I've picked this one.

Can we please also stop using the word "bitch"? And maybe abandon the attempt to "reclaim" words that were (and still are ) used to denigrate and humiliate us.

Maybe it's generational but try as I might I can't get comfy with the word "cunt" and I don't see the point of trying. I know some people claim to love these words but I can't help thinking they use them defiantly or in a titillating manner but never unselfconsciously or as part of their natural language. Maybe some words should just be relegated to a museum of horrors ... recognised for what they were or became ... and we move on.

Please do weigh in.
