Exactly how offensive is the "C" word to you?

My ex husband just left me a message calling me a c*nt. Most people, including me are more offended by that than anything else.

Exactly how offensive is the "C" word to you?
On average, yeah...it's about the most offensive word in the entire language. I've been called many names affectionately, that most would consider offensive, and yet didn't bother me at all. The c word is in its own category though. I don't think any amount of affection while using that word would be enough to make it acceptable to me.
Reply:I have only heard it used in very vulgar contexts, so, yes, it's offensive. I think there are things I'm more offended by, but in general, I'm offended by all words that are intended to hurt others or objectify them.

*lol*
Reply:I HATE that word!
Reply:what a charmer. its the worst word that could be said. horrible
Reply:"cant" hmm doesnt seem offencive to me.... must be the way my head works
Reply:It is pretty high ranking offensively
Reply:It's degrading to women. It made me feel like he was insulting my womanhood- like I was wrong, ugly or stupid just for being a woman. I don't think guys see it like that, though. I think they just use the uglier words when they are at their maddest point. They'd say whatever comes to mind to get a big reaction. Don't take that from him! You are ONLY what YOU think you are.
Reply:I personally don't care if they call me a c*nt,the reason being that if a person has to resort to calling me names,i insist they call me something original.It shows a lack of creativity and intelligence on their part to resort to old insults.Therefore, it is I who am superior to them.Mwahahaha!


p.s. i've found a good response to that remark is 'I have one, therefore I am entiled to be one!'
Reply:Very offensive
Reply:I think it is a vulgar word and would never call anyone the word as a serious insult. Plus as I tell my husband when he uses it to describe something negative "A C*** is something that gives you lots of pleasure - don't imply it is a bad thing"!





I have (in a very joking manner) called my husband/ events the c-bomb word before - but only when I know that it is going to be taken in a jovial manner.
Reply:It rates up there pretty highly. It's about the worst non-cultural/racial slam available, but honestly, the only ones who use it are the ones who fit it most closely! haha. Glad to see you've moved on from that crowd. You should email me - guaranteed you won't get called *that* ;)


that's not even sugarcoatable!
Reply:its hilarious
Reply:simply answer this way


yes i have one and no you can't put your tongue on it!!


it is a offensive word but the more negative reaction you give him the more he's going to use it as gun fire!


p.s.if that doesn't work then call him a cu*t licker!
Reply:not at all, it is just a word
