Toxic men have been using our genitalia and body parts to slut-shame us since Christ was a cowboy. Almost every insult we have in the English language revolves around the shameful idea of being compared to female genitalia.
Are you worried sometimes? No, you’re just a p—y. Are you bitter sometimes? No, you’re just a t—. Are you impolite? No, you’re just a c—. But the reclamation by women of these words is nothing new. We have Pussy Riot, p—y hats, and more.
So yeah, given the opportunity to show you that your tired, outdated sticks ’n’ stones can’t hurt me, I’m going to use c— often and out loud.When we live in a world where the POTUS can grab women by the p—-y, brag about it, and have multiple accusers of sexual assault, yet still retain his office, I think “feckless c—” is one of the tamer outcomes of this new reality.
