Before you shriek in terror at C-U-Next-Tuesday and minimize your browser window, hear me out.
I dig cunt. The word, the sisterhood of fuck-me feminism, slipping my fingers inside, and all those other things cunt embodies–I feel it inside and out.
Cunt is not something I will ever be ashamed of. Many people try to take it away from me with disapproving finger-shaking or a snarl of contempt, but fuck that shit. It’s not about what they think. It’s about me, and let me tell you sweetie, I love my cunt.
The word itself is a hard slamming of consonants against each other. There is nothing soft about the word at all–but it doesn’t need to be. Every other goddamn synonym is either sweet, delicate, or downright sterile: vagina, vulva, punani, muff, goodies, down there. Of the lot of slang terms I typically use “pussy” because it makes my eyes roll the least. A few times I’ve thrown out “cunt” while fucking someone and that usually makes the guy stop cold exactly when I want him to be ramming me hot and hard. Oh come on, buddy. What the fuck? Why does this still catch people off-guard?
Because nice girls don’t say “cunt,” let alone have one.
So why do I have to talk about “cunt,” why not “pussy” or “vagina” or “secret love garden”? Because cunt is so much more than a body part, especially if that body part smells like rainbows and sunshine. Cunt is a statement.
People have been reclaiming cunt for years. I want to know what’s taking so goddamn long that I still have to be careful not to throw “cunt” into everyday conversation unless the person I’m with knows me well enough to understand that I mean “rock on, babe.”
According to The Woman’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets, the origin of “cunt” didn’t have the foul connotation that it does today : “Derivative of the Oriental Great Goddess of Cunti, or Kunda, the Yoni of the Uni-verse. From the same root came country, kin, and kind.” Yoni translates as “divine passage” and “womb,” although it also refers to the female anatomy used in giving birth with a tone of great respect. Although there seems to be a lot of dispute over the origin of “cunt,” what I’m getting at is that it wasn’t always uttered with a sneer.
I know a lot of people grew up with “cunt” being the ultimate bad word, the one you rarely heard so when someone spat it out it left you momentarily frozen. In my case, I did not come across the word until I heard it from "Chuck Bass" person when I lived in England (he is someone who was a ass to me, and had the personality of Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl -personality from season 1 but the difference was, Chuck Bass got laid, my real life Chuck Bass didn't get laid, just had an asshole personality)- he called me a CUNT because I turned him down for sex.
Regardless, while "Chuck Bass" called me that, I didn't take offense. He just sounded stupid misusing the word. I think a dictionary would have been useful for him-LOL - yes a lot of men wll use the word 'Cunt" when they didn't get their way. Not all men but those who didn't get to 'pump and dump' on a woman for a hookup, that is when that word is used wrong. I think this post is a great education for all the Chuck Bass men out there.
What is cunt?
It’s fuck me harder, no I said FUCK ME HARDER. It’s burying my face in the smell of sex. It’s enjoying my sexuality without caring about whispers of slut or whore. It’s standing up against every asshole out there who thinks I should stay in my place.
Most importantly, it’s pride in who and what I am. If that means I’m a cunt, then I will stand tall and proud.
