I have a certain respect for the term and its history, though apparently it has always been pejorative. But then name me a non-scientific term for a woman’s vulva that is not used pejoratively.

Same might be said for a man’s penis?? Though generally I think having balls is seen as a good thing.

I am actually fairly fond of the word “cunt” to describe a woman’s genitalia.

Really? It always seems a bit… hard. Which is why it’s well suited as an insult: you can really inject some venom into it when you say it.

The Chaucerian ‘quenyte’ has slightly less of a fist-smashing-into-a-side-of-beef quality to it, I suppose.

I am actually fairly fond of the word “cunt” to describe a woman’s genitalia. That comes from being married for a long time to a scholar of Medieval English with a love for Chaucer and an interest in Latin poetry, especially Catullus. Still, I don’t think the founders of C.U.N.T. have much interest in etymology.
