“If you think you can’t do something, chances are you’re right. Then again, chanced are you’re wrong. But there’s one thing I’ve learned in my time on this planet — and trust me, I’ve been around for a while — if you say those words out loud, you’re usually one hundred percent correct.”

Something I noticed on my long bouts of trawling the internet as of late is that people are getting dogpiled for using the terms ‘bitch,’ and ‘cunt’ more often than before. I’ve witnessed a fair number of these little verbal explosions but I’ve participated in few — the reasons for this being that it’s funny to watch people rage back and forth on the internet, and my laptop’s ‘a’ key doesn’t work so until recently when I bought a USB keyboard for it I had to CTRL+V every time I wanted a bleeding ‘a’ and that meant typing anything was fucking taxing. I mean whatever, it isn’t like ‘a’ is a very useful letter anyways, right? I digress.
On the few occasions I have opened my gob on this issue I’ve been leapt on left and right by feminists. If you’ll allow me to sidestep for just a moment again, I want to say that it’s nothing short of a tragedy that the term feminist is almost a negative buzzword now. When I think of someone who identifies as a feminist, I think of some militant loudmouth nutjob who writes atrocious “articles” like (http://thefemitheist.blogspot.ca/20…..ce-myself.html) that incredibly offensive, sexist bullshit and hosts ridiculous manbashing parties where anything with a penis is vilified. To me, that is not feminism and that is not a cry for equality or the rights we as women deserve. What it is is promoting female supremacy and that I can’t get behind — I can’t because of my very closely held beliefs in the very same principles of equality that they like to tout. Whether this type of feminist is the majority or not, as a result I feel that I can’t call myself a feminist despite being very involved in issues relating to it. I call myself an Equalist, because I believe that sexism in any form is disgusting and that one’s sex or gender shouldn’t ever matter in societal or political issues.
Firstly, I use the following terms and derivatives thereof interchangeably in my every day salty speech:
Bitch, cunt, pussy, dick, cock, asshole, wanker, jackoff, and tit.
I do not use terms like slut or whore, which I term as sex-based insults and are different. I also don’t describe people as ‘loose,’ or ‘easy.’ These terms exist solely for shaming somebody into feeling bad about how much sex they have and I disagree fundamentally with that. Nobody should feel bad for whatever amount of sex they have be it a fuckton [no pun intended] or never at all. As long as nobody’s getting hurt [against their will] and everybody’s consensual, then awesome.
I’ve had it put to me that the term ‘cunt’ or ‘pussy’ or any terminology referring to female genitalia should never be used as an insult because those terms solely exist to insult and shame. When I replied that I use all of those terms interchangeably and that it’s incredibly common to use words describing male genitalia as insults, the retort came that male gendered insults aren’t as ‘dirty.’ Now, here, I’d have to disagree. To me, there is absolutely no difference between calling someone a cunt and calling someone a cock. None whatsoever. Both imply a certain level of arrogance surrounding a given shithead, both are curses.
The response I got to this was that men have oppressed women for thousands of years, so it’s okay to use male gendered insults as dirty words, but women need protection.
See, I find that sexist. More than that, I find that idea offensive. Women are strong. Women are able to take a joke, to shoulder an insult, to weather a storm every bit as well as a man can and to imply anything different is misogynistic bullshit. To say that after all these years of oppression and all this ground towards equality we’ve gained that we can’t take a ribbing is complete nonsense. Words have as much power over you as you let them have.
When we open ourselves up to equality, we open ourselves up to the bad sides of it, too. The bad sides of it are that we won’t get favoured anymore because of our sex — in any way. Things won’t be censored for us on a cultural basis, but rather on an individual one, and hey, isn’t that what we’re after? To not have our decisions made for us and to be seen as capable too?
And yes, of course it sucks to be called any one of those things. That’s also the point of an insult.
Perhaps it may be beneficial to stop concentrating on the word used to insult you and instead question why it was you were being insulted in the first place. If the answer is I was being insulted because of my sex or orientation, well, don’t bother with them, then.
They’re a cunt.
for those not in the know, night witches were russian lady bombers who bombed the shit out of german lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get the fuck out of dodge.
their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured.

Just what we needed: font angst.
It doesn’t even matter what you think. You know why, jagoff? Cause I’m famous. I am on every major operating system since Microsoft fucking Bob. I’m in your signs. I’m in your browsers. I’m in your instant messengers. I’m not just a font. I am a force of motherfucking nature and I will not rest until every uptight armchair typographer cock-hat like you is surrounded by my lovable, comic-book inspired, sans-serif badassery.
