While I am not an advocate for censorship just for the principal, certain curse words remain at the top of my “I Could Do Without This” list.
Growing up, I was pretty much constantly surrounded by grown men whose vocabulary seemingly consisted of mainly curse words. It was “F-that, F-this, F-that B-” etc. etc. Once you have these words literally ingrained into your mind and soul, it makes it rough hearing them pop off so haphazardly if that makes sense.
That being said, the B-word and the F-word are some of my least favorite. I have been through countless high stress, high anger situations in which these words were screamed and spit out. Particularly the B-word and the more misogynistic connotation of the word. When I hear women calling other woman that for example, it gets me so heated cause it instantly takes me back to the anger and the sexism, and it makes me wonder why people choose to use such hideous language for? laughs? as a term of endearment? What is endearing about being called an actual dog? Is my question.
You may think I am putting too much emphasis on this language but once you have made that association, it’s hard to undo it. After all, my closest friends and family never called me that, and that speaks volumes to me.
