And it's a very fine part of the human/female anatomy.
I FAR prefer it to the Latin "vagina" (which only refers to ONE specific aspect of the female genitalia, as if all the OTHER bits are irrelevent...hint, if someone's skirt flies up and she isn't wearing panties, you DIDN'T see her "vagina", which is an internal organ. You maybe saw her vulva or her labia or her CUNT, but not her vagina).

How it the word, in itself, so horribly offensive and awesomely powerful that it warrants the high level of taboo it enjoys?

Stupid. As a woman, I don't find it any more offensive than any other term used as an insult OR a descriptive. But for some reason, it seems to trip the triggers of damn near everyone.

Like Nigger and Queer, it should be reclaimed and stripped of its power.

(though, admittedly, most of them were 60ish, drunken men)

Though, I suppose it's only fair they use it at will sans scrutiny, as so many Portlanders have bizarrely appropriated using "Cheers" instead of just saying "Thanks." Let's follow all their examples & cunt it up!

If you use hateful slurs, you undermine whatever point you were making completely and look like a real jerk.

but instead of a man, she has a little DEMON in a boat.....with venom-dripping spikes.

it's almost enough to scare me off of boats altogether.

Are you gonna critisize John Lennon for his song 'Woman is the Nigger of the World"?
Tarintino films, where blacks call whites 'my nigger'?
Or all the British who regularly call someone a 'cunt'?
That said, I rarely - if ever - use these words.... but what a load of touchy-feel-good crap the writer spouts off.
