When it comes right down to it, that was the only brain he was using.

I agree with Sabrina.  To use it gratuitously - not my style, but sometimes, it IS the best word for the job.

  I don't ever think it's the right word but that's just me.  I really think it's a very ugly word and I think it insults ALL women. 

  Okay, I dislike that word and I don't approve of its usage.  Better? 

 

 

And here I thought she was talking about "CUTE".  Boy, is my face red.

I despise misogyny, but the actual word doesn't bother me much.  Depends on the context.

I have to say, though, in a sexy lit or conversation context, I find it to be one of the least appealing words to describe female genitalia.

Yeah, it's bad for a woman to be called a cunt but it's worse for a man to be called a pussy.

Even though I would check myself, if it slips out it would be old-fashion Bitch. Enough with the private parts, and I hope I'm not called a prick by you know who.

Aussies are generally more relaxed about foul language so it really doesn't bother me.  I agree that in context, it is useful.  Remember, like anything, a word only has the power you are willing to give it.
