I hate to break it to you about whether "cunt" is gendered or not...

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

don't be a terf, everyone can be a cunt, and everyone can have a cunt, even men.

make sure you celebrate all the cunts in your life

Genuine question, is this the same law that allows one to call anyone a dick?

no idea, but feel free to call anyone a dick, even me. go ahead

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I try not be a terf. "Cunt" has been a gendered slur regardless of the meaning. You can call anyone a cunt, but it has been used in history to demean women in particular, and not all women have cunts.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

my answer was more of a shitpost. "cunt" is more of a gendered slur in the US, in the UK and especially in Australia everyone can be a Cunt. although it'll likely started as a gendered slur

As an Australian, the cunt thing is an internet meme, it's absolutely gendered and normal people do not use it.

question, if someone were to hit your car with a their door in the parking lot, and you said "what a cunt" would people judge you as a misogynist or like someone who just got a dent in their car?

I think that is the crux of the issue,

[–] werty@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

That would depend at least in part on whether it was intentional. I would not judge anyone that way over an accidental door hit. If you called a woman a cunt then I would assume you are at least somewhat misogynist. Men sometimes refer to their friends as cunt, but only male friends, this is exclusively an insult for women and we are never spoken to this way in a friendly or joking manner

Ignoring for a moment that men can have vaginas and whatnot, the origin of the word is from the sex bits, but the word itself isn't gendered. Same way you can say "she's a dick".

On second thought, it gets a little murky because that word is in some places used specifically to demean women, but that's not Australia's fault. It would be great if we all just agreed to end misogyny to fix that issue.

Nobody uses dudette anymore, is dude now ungendered?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I grew up in and adjacent to surf world. Nobody used dudette back then. It was always just dude.

I think the tides may be turning, then. As evidenced by this meme.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

dudette was a bit niche, no one really used it.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly! Women can be a chill ass dude fr.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Imo, dude has always been ungendered. I call everyone dude, though I do try to use other terms when talking with my mtf homies until they know that.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Same and same, dude. But my perception isn't all that exists, and some women don't like being called dude. Just applying the logic of the dichotomies on display already.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about bro-cunt... would this be a negating neutral term if endearment?
