Women who curse

What if we avoid swearing in front of kids?

i think you might be mistaking chauvinism for chivalry here (assuming there might be an actual difference between the two, i can never tell.)

again, my opinion - women aren't some dainty flowers that will wilt upon hearing profanity and more than men would.

Re: Women who curse

What, even Punjabi swearwords? Don't be daft man!

I love it when people who aren't even Punjabi manage to use a few hardcore Punjabi swearwords and then claim they do not swear.

I miss Madhanee (I think that was his name) he taught me the meanings of quite a few well used Punjabi swearwords my dadda abbu uses.

i say shyt sometimes, but not directed at someone else. i'll say it to myself if i'm behind in things or forgot something. is that considered a curse word or seen as unattractive?

i agree it's a turn off. but i don't think everyone curses to sound cool. others curse because they're put in an extreme/stressful situation.

for example, if someone is being really disrespectul, intentionally provoking another person to get extremely angry (VERY hard to control) and curse- i honestly think that's better than the provoker getting punched and they shouldn't be so shocked by the curse... he/she kind of had it coming due to their behavior. and there could be some good in this situation- the person causing all the trouble, might be shocked and actually shut up.

Re: Women who curse

nah...I'm not mistaking chauvinism for chivalry.....I know they are being polite....and yes...there is a difference between the two....one suggests inability and the other impropriety.

women are not dainty flowers.......but should be treated as if they were.

when I hear an aunty swear I ask her: "Do you kiss your child with that mouth?"
when I hear a young girl swear I ask her: "Do you eat with that mouth?"

its just disgusting and doesn't earn you any points.....no matter what company or situation.

:D

is that swearing you are talking about?

Re: Women who curse

I don't understand your question JK.

if a girl swears at you, over and over and over, maybe you should get a hint and correct something :hehe:

boss, when you try to make change in some thing totally perfect :snooty:, you just mess it up.

and why is that?

i know these things are highly subjective personal preferences, but to me a woman who insists on being treated daintily is a bigger downer than one who would swear when angry for a reason.

cursing does not exist in my dictionary...disrespecting myself or others with a harsh outburst accomplishes nothing ..it's better to be at loss of words and be silent than to demean yourself by losing control of your tongue.

Respect is earned not demanded...

Re: Women who curse

respect is different from being treated like a helpless woman who needs to be shielded by men from the harsh realities of life. reminds me of "honor" killings.

Re: Women who curse

I don’t see the connection between swearing and treating women like dainty flowers.

:confused:

You shouldn’t swear cause it’s simply vulgar. The way you behave is a reflection of your parents or how you were raised. Isn’t it? :confused:

Since losing my dad, I take that even more seriously. I am his stamp on the world and if I go around swearing, then it reflects on him and I wouldn’t want anybody thinking poorly of my folks.

Also, if you are ok with swearing, then what do you do if someone comes along and swears at you and justifies it by saying you swore on so-and-so date so what’s your problem with being sworn at?

Re: Women who curse

Any self respecting woman would not want a man's shielding...and no I'm not thinking about honour killing...anyhow both are downers be it swearing or wanting a dainty flower treatment.

Re: Women who curse

the connection is that a few posts have implied that swearing is tolerable provided no women are around, and that it is men who are doing it.

turn off #3 : bollywoodesque approach to morality - people whose behavior isn't determined by their idea of right or wrong, but on what others might think of them, their parents, their country etc.

Re: Women who curse

I think there's another thread for turn-offs Queer. :D
