the C-word show (that's right, cunt)
This evening, Nicole Markham and I talked on Genesis about the word cunt.
A controversial topic, we know, but we hope we covered it in a fresh way.
Some of the topics we talked about include:
History of the word's meanings
Etymology (where it came from)
Cunt in popular culture
The "c-word" as taboo
"Vaginal oppression" and the silencing of female sexuality
Female anatomy and bedroom talk
and more!
We also talked about a few sources we used for the show, so if you want to know more, make sure to check out:
Expletive Deleted (A good look at bad language) by Ruth Wajnryb
Cunt: A declaration of independence by Inga Muscio
and Matthew Hunt's dissertation on the word cunt.
If you missed the show and want to listen, please check out the mp3 archives at www.cjam.ca and go to June 17th at 8pm. We start at 8:30 so you will have to skip past (or listen to!) half an hour of children's programming, but we are worth it, trust me.
Comments are welcome and encouraged!
