Women don't generally get called 'cunt.' It's a friendly term between men or an angry one depending on tone. In the US, it seems unambiguously hostile & also gendered? If so, best not to use it. Manners? Also, not the end of the world. Talk about something else, please, yanks.https://twitter.com/Mikel_Jollett/status/1002273830138605568 …

Ideally, yes. If hostile. Or don't. Civility is a virtue but it's not the end of the world. Abusive people undermine themselves.

But I don't really know the connotations in the US. Here it refers to men & is rude but doesn't have a really nasty edge. Connotations matter. Like how 'Paki' & 'Brit' are both abbreviations but 'Paki' is understood as racist while 'Brit' is not so they are not comparable.
