    don’t be a terf, everyone can be a cunt, and everyone can have a cunt, even men.

    make sure you celebrate all the cunts in your life

      I try not be a terf. “Cunt” has been a gendered slur regardless of the meaning. You can call anyone a cunt, but it has been used in history to demean women in particular, and not all women have cunts.

        my answer was more of a shitpost. “cunt” is more of a gendered slur in the US, in the UK and especially in Australia everyone can be a Cunt. although it’ll likely started as a gendered slur

          As an Australian, the cunt thing is an internet meme, it’s absolutely gendered and normal people do not use it.

            question, if someone were to hit your car with a their door in the parking lot, and you said “what a cunt” would people judge you as a misogynist or like someone who just got a dent in their car?

            I think that is the crux of the issue,

              That would depend at least in part on whether it was intentional. I would not judge anyone that way over an accidental door hit. If you called a woman a cunt then I would assume you are at least somewhat misogynist. Men sometimes refer to their friends as cunt, but only male friends, this is exclusively an insult for women and we are never spoken to this way in a friendly or joking manner
