    This fellow, who's sad I pointed out he had missed something obvious, says "cunty" is not gendered.https://twitter.com/outsh1ned/status/905090313131134977 …

    Stop interpreting cunty as a female specific assessment and instead as a cuntish specific thing and you'll be on script

        Replying to @emptywheel

        I get this a lot in the UK. It's like arguing "guys" is gendered: they genuinely don't see it.

        I live with an Irishman. I am perfectly tolerant of the word "cunt" wielded in the way that it is used there. But that's not "cunty."

        I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of curse words and so take into account the culture from whence it comes.

        Yeah, when spouse says cunt he's not though. Usually he's just dropped something on his toe or whatnot.

        Replying to @ABenMcCloskey

        My spouse is Irish. I'm pretty familiar with the usage of "cunt!" that is largely dissociated from gender slur and calling someone "cunty."

        cunty used btw friends can be less sharp. But context matters & here this is obviously gendered insult meant to police unladylike behavior.
