The key here is that in a lot of Australian culture, "cunt" is on par with "fucker" or "asshole" - there's nothing gendered about it as an insult. It's acceptable to use precisely because it's NOT sexist, racist, or otherwise any sort of slur. Equally, we're not going to ban Spanish posters from using their word for "black", are we? |

Ireland, from a cursory check of their profile. But it doesn't invalidate your point, I don't think it's gendered their either.
> ban
Words in my mouth. I'm not advocating a ban, we're discussing whether a word is appropriate on this forum.
> their word for "black"
A bit of a stretch, considering _that_ word isn't on par with "fucker" in Spanish. So ironically, yeah, I think we would ban a Spanish poster for using it in this context?
But I concede your point that if it's not gendered, the intent isn't sexist.
