Weak Sauce


Why do men feel that the only way to gain power over a woman is to degrade her by calling her a cunt or a bitch or a slut? Is it lack of intelligence? Is it the need to make a cheap shot? Is it because they don't know how else to assert their feelings, thoughts, or emotions? Why does saying words that carry such baggage make guys feel like they've really won? On that note, why does the word cunt carry so much emotional baggage anyway? Why is cunt so much more damaging than calling a guy a dick or an asshole? Is it because women have made it that way? I want to know what went down back in the day when cunt was first used as a verbal right hook. What was the syntax? In what context was cunt used to degrade a female for the first time? How did it come to have so much weight in the line-up of derogatory female terms.No matter how it got there, it did. Now it's used as a heavy weight in the verbal argument boxing ring. Guys know that they can use that word as a KO when they have no other way to beat their opponent. It's used as a copout and it's used as a last resort.


So, is it a lack of intelligence? Is it because the man who's using the word has neurons that are firing at snail speed and all he can come up with is to sling the dirtiest female insult and hope it carries the punch of a justified rebuttal? I don't think so. I think even a very smart man who's at his emotional tipping point has the ability to use cunt as a copout when he really wants to stab you in your gut, because of the historical weight of the word.


Is it the need to make a cheap shot? Definitely. Just as if two guys were in a fist fight: a guy will only nut shot another guy if he wants to a) seem like a bitch (and I say that word with no gender bias) or b) knowingly take a cheap shot but can't help himself because he needs to get his opponent in an position that he knows will send him to the ground.


Is it because they don't know how else to assert their feelings, thoughts, or emotions? Yes. Because for men the process of feeling emotions, then thinking about them, then having to come to the epiphany of verbalizing those thoughts is a process that could take months or even years. For that water to come to a boil requires many years of maturity, very strong mothering growing up, and overhearing episodes of Oprah. Then and only then could a male truly, without error or ignorance, voice his emotions appropriately.


However most males aren't to that point. instead when they feel anger, frustration, sadness, and pain and they try to express those emotions in a heated battle, the attempt is usually a failed one. They choose the easier route of calling the girl a cunt to release all that excess steam in their head. So once again congratulations males on slowing your emotional evolution that much more.
