Howdy y'all, After I read that quote (which was my first time ever, believe or not), I thought it amusing, but I was kinda surprised that it was there, nonetheless.
The quote does not bother me in the least, but I am a diff gender. I work at a hospital; most hospital employees (including administration) are approximately 90% female. Among the staff that I work with, we have discussed many topics with relatively few limits; (experiencing life/death events regularly during any 12 hour shift tends to alter one's discussion topics). Naturally, the c-word (and similarly the n-word), have been discussed over the years. Those words can be demonizing, demoralizing, soul draining, and tend to create a vacuum. However, in people of the same ethnic, the n-word can be a term of affection / endearment. Similarly, the c-word, when discussed exclusively by a certain gender, tends to have a less antagonizing effect. ... or to be a lil' more plainer ... if a man utters the c-word, he will be forever known; 'flogged' relentlessly; and 'frozen out' ... should a women utter the c-word, she will be dismissed as just a low class bee-yotch having a bad day. ad ________________________________ From: Kirby McDaniel <ki...@movieart.net> To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Saturday, June 9, 2012 7:27 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] HIGHLY OFFENSIVE: Seriously? Mopoers: This jokey comment was in no way directed at you, Diana. IN NO WAY. I would like to clarify to Diana Everett and to Morris Everett and to everyone on this list that this quip that I related on the list was NOT INTENDED to be a comment about Diana or ANYONE on the list. It is a well-known anecdote and racy (and so labeled) wisecrack about country music (which I actually enjoy) and THAT'S IT.
