I love it! Great way to start my week.

Love it. I realized yesterday that I don't think of cunt as a "bad word" anymore. My mom was all flustered about the Jane Fonda thing, and another friend of mine was talking about how uncomfortable people get when she uses the word. Both times I just had this moment of "But why...?" before remember it's supposed to be shameful.

I think a couple years in the Vagina Monologues has done me well. :)

Utterly tasteless and heartless. It bugs me immensely that people can't understand why words are offensive to some people. I get that some people think words have no meaning, or contextually specific meaning, but for some people some words (like the c-word) are offensive and sickening all of the time. No matter what the context.

Andrea I can respect where you are coming from, but I would suggest that you read the book "Cunt" it may bring a different point of view.
I would never think that Cunt does not have any meaning, but I also like to think that we can control how much power we give to a word.

i spy some radical body hair!!

hey,

to let everyone know why we were dressed up like that, Winthrop University Galleries was opening a show based on gender that night, so we all decided to go as the CUNT cheerleaders. they are pretty much only known by art history and feminist art students, check out The Power of Feminist Art to see pictures of the original 70s CUNT cheerleaders in action.

As a Winthrop alum, I'm very happy to some positive, progressive Eagle press. Way to go ladies!

Many British modernist writers focused their attention on the structure and function of domestic spaces and found little to praise. “My house is a decayed house,” complains the speaker in T. S. Eliot’s “Gerontion,” charging the Victorian home of lingering past its time. In modernist texts whatever smacks of the radical—transgressive sexuality, feminism, or the spirit of the avant-garde—is either accommodated with difficulty by the domestic or simply shunted outdoors. Influenced by new trends in British design, many writers sought to undermine and even reconstruct the form of the home in order to redefine its purpose and meaning. Yet as Sasha’s example demonstrates, though old-fashioned rooms are unsatisfying, they can be hard to think beyond and hard to leave behind. The talking room she encounters offers a representative display of the powerful or magical qualities that attach to domestic spaces, qualities that can alter or derail plans for renovation or redesign.
