A Little Bit of Faith and Photography

The worst word man ever created is the word CUNT. This word, originally used to describe female genitalia has morphed into a vulgar insult in many English speaking cultures (except Australia and a view other countries) particularly in North America. The word is used to denigrate, dehumanize, and degrade women. It is often used to attack a woman’s character, particularly when she does not conform to traditional gender expectations, such as being “sweet” or submissive. It’s misogynistic. patriarchal, offensive and is often used in abusive relationships . The word has been used to reduce a woman to her genitalia, equating her worth solely to her sexual function, or to imply her sexuality is disgusting, filthy, or immoral. It inflicts maximum emotional pain on a woman and it will silence a woman. It can take an emotional toll on the recipient causing depression and low self esteem. Unfortunately the word is seeing a shift into a more positive meaning within some groups of people.
