CUNT!

Okay is this word okay to use in general conversation now? Me and mates use it a lot but when woman are in a convo with you and your mates its sort of not allowed why is this?
Woman are more easily offended than men and why is cunt such a bad word anyway?

I was a bit drunk about 2 months ago and was having this discussion with my olds and some of there friends. here we were refering to it as the cword and none of them use it infront of people.
The words in films all over the place now and its even in 15 rated films like the inbetweeners! Clunge has got to be worse!!
So if you read this tell me what you think on using it in conversation and also if your a female then whats is your take on it?

peace niggas!
