Censoring Scientific Terms

Ok, I know "cunt" is awful to say out in public...but Vagina is bad?

Article here

I've seen the Vagina Monologues and there's a lot more content within it that could be considered "offensive" than what these girls said.

Get the fuck out of here. Cunt is a wonderful word to say out in public, or any place for that matter.

I remember one time a friend of mine said it casually out in the street when we were walking downtown and a woman literally spun around to see who had said it mid-stride, then completed the rotation by continuing to walk in the direction she was heading in the first place.

Pure fuckin' magic, and the word cunt made it possible.

Regardless, my girlfriend (who happens to have no problem with casual use of the word cunt, and uses it herself in a similar fashion) had read a similar story about a town in which a woman petitioned to have the title of the Vagina Monologues changed because she had to explain to her niece what a vagina was after they saw an ad for it.

Yes, you read that right, her fucking NIECE. I can only assume the girl had had a vagina-ectomy so it's a sensitive issue to explain what a vagina is to her as she no longer has one and detailing that to her would be far too traumatic.

I didn't actually read the story my girlfriend found, as I knew it would just serve to enrage me further, but apparently the bitching and complaining succeeded and the play changed it's name to 'The Hoo-Ha Monologues'...at least until the licensors of the play objected due to the fact that doing such a thing is completely insane.

It seriously is completely illogical thinking like this that's making the world go to hell. Not rapists, murderers, retarded wars and profanity or any of the other things you here credited with the downfall of civilization.

The self-righteous craziness perpetrated on a daily basis by people like this will fuck everything up beyond recognition one day, mark my words.

BTW I'll be sure to try and find the article I referred to.

The point is, there's still good in the world...and it's worth fighting for.

I know it sucks that the world is filled with insanity like this, but enjoy the good stuff while you can! I mean, a world with fuckin' Journey can't be that bad, can it? CAN IT? Fuckin' Journey man, and I only know TWO songs of theirs and they're enough to make me have faith!

EDIT: Damn it. Just as I finished that post my friend had to sign out. Maybe you're right. Any room up on that ledge? Wait...why would someone kill themselves if they were unhappy with the world? Wouldn't fucking it up as bad as possible before you die be much more satisfying and effective?

oh I put cunt in quotations marks as you know, some people find it offensive. I don't. I saw the Vagina Monologues, the ladies took it back. So what's the big deal? lol

and The Hoo-Ha Monologues? You've got to be shitting me.

With this I do agree...but you need to lay off the Journey stuff man. It took me awhile to deduce whether or not you were taking the piss. If you are into getting the most out of life there is more to it than "Don't Stop Believing"
Seriously.

God forbid young children hear the anatomical word for a body part half of them have, and that all of them came out of.

I think they should change the name to "The Talking Pussy", that way we can all be happy: Liberals because it'll still be kinda dirty; parents because they can tell their kids that it's referring to cats; and me because there'll be a play called "The Talking Pussy"

Try working with people in a medical context, and how they can't bring themselves to tell a doctor anatomically correct terms.

Hello, folks, penis and vagina/vulva and ovaries, uterus, testicles, and scrotum are all just plain old body parts - no different than saying arm or leg!

I don't particularly want someone to say they have an oozing cunt, I'd rather they say vaginal discharge, but at least the first one I know what they mean rather than "something wrong with her cookie."
post #15 of 67
I actually like the English euphemism "Front Bottom".
It accurately describes said bit of anatomy in a child-friendly way.









'CUNT' is great as well...
post #16 of 67
i think vaginal discharge is a much more disgusting term than oozing cunt.

And also oozing cunt has many more uses.

Yes, but an adult woman who can't bring herself to say the word "vagina" and instead chooses "cookie" is really scary. Who lets these people reproduce?

You may have been satirical and if so, my apologies, but why is vagina not child-friendly? I ask because I mentioned to some co-workers awhile back that my 4-year old daughter refers to her vagina as a vagina and some people were really taken aback. I don't get it.

Exactly. What is "wrong" with using anatomically correct terms? It's also more mentally healthy than using words that make wierd implications. I don't have a problem with a term like "private" or "intimate" since those words do generally apply to the genitals, but why do people think little kids can't call them "vagina" or "vulva" and "penis"?

Because sex is shameful and sexual organs are shameful by association, and should thus be looked at in disgust.

Especially vaginas.

There is clearly nothing shameful about sex.... unless you want it to be.

Dude, you really need to look up the definition of tongue-in-cheek. I do like Journey, but I'm clearly exaggerating exactly how much.

Oh, and for those who care this is the news story I referred to...

...and just for the record I WAS being satirical.

My daughter's almost one, and I'm determined 'vagina' will be her first word. I've been pointing at her 'lady-parts', and been repeating 'va-gine-ah', 'va-gine-ah' over and over and over.

Strange thing is she just giggles and points at me.



Wonder what THAT means.

Pretty sure it means she thinks you're a pussy. You have to assert yourself as a dominant male. A good place to start is a nice firm smacking about the face.

Just make sure you only do that to one year old females. If you do that to adult females, your testicles are likely to part from the rest of your body.

Not bloody likely! Your testicles will firm like ripened fruit from engaging in such masculine activities!

Generally, i find people that really like Journey, or even just a little, posses no sense of humor.
You can see how i was confused.

I don't have testicles, but I can attest that if you attempt to slap me around, you are very, very likely to part with your testicles.

Doesn't fruit, as it ripens, actually soften?...and bruise more easily?

I've decided to avoid your advice; I may be a pussy, but I can do without the soft, bruised balls, ta.

We get it. You're one of those "Don't call me a chick!" chicks with a severe deficit in the sense of humour department. You don't have to remind us whenever you get the chance.

Yeah I thought of that as I was typing it, but to hell with it!

I love how you said 'ta' at the end of that. Whatta pussy.

Oh, I don't care if you call me a chick. But child abuse, partner abuse, et al. just ain't that funny coming from you. So I was teasing you back, that you'd lose your testicles if you beat up anything strong enough to beat back, and you don't have enough sense to drop it, beating your humorless joke into the ground, and then blaming me for the lack of humor in it.

It's one thing to not find any humour in it, it's another to respond to it as if it is a sincere statement. Learn the difference, then talk to me.

While we're on hiatus, maybe you can learn to be funny, and learn at least marginal English.

Are you mocking my Canadian spelling of words like 'humour'? Well I guess I'll just have to add cultural imperialism to the list of reasons you're a twat.
post #50 of 67
*snicker* he said "twat". Cunt is only funny sometimes, but twat is always hilarious.
