What's in a word???

It's considered one of the most offensive words in the English language, it's one of the most negatively and misused words, but as far as I'm concerned it's one of the most positive, powerful and woman-friendly terms... and the word is...

and if you agree these are beautiful, then you must hate cunt being used as a derogatory term - it means vagina, vulva, female genitalia - it doesn't mean arsewipe, jerk-off, or any other put-down - it's part of our female bodies - so when it's used in this context, it puts all women down... it disparages our bodies, our
femaleness, it disrespects our gender!!!!

so why not

RECLAIM THE WORD - BE PROUD OF YOUR CUNT.

...from the "Vagina Monologues"


Ever heard of Judy Chicago's "Dinner Party"?

The Dinner Party is an installation art work depicting place settings for 39 mythical and historical famous women throughout history. It was produced from 1974 to 1979 by a collaboration of many individual women and first exhibited in 1979. Since 2007 it has been on permanent exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, New York, USA ...


Here is a slideshow of just a sample of the plates from the settings - they're amazing, they're beautiful, and they're depictions of cunts... enjoy...
