The people who are objecting to Brendan’s use of the nickname “cuntface” are just making his point. Since “cunt” is a word especially insulting to women, “cuntface” is an especially bad nickname to choose to call a woman whom you want help from. That was Brendan’s point in using it.

The problem isn’t with Brendan’s use of the word “cuntface,” it’s with the readers who want to show how earnestly respectful of women they are by taking a strong stand against the word “cunt.”

What a bunch of pussies.

I don’t object to the use of the expression cuntface in this post, it is a parable and I get it, but the point I think some people are trying to make is not that the word is a bad word so it shouldn’t be used, but the fact that equating a woman’s genitalia with an insult perpetuates anti-woman attitudes, and for that reason it shouldn’t be used. Brendan’s use of the term is appropriate, others in the comment section, not so much…

Let’s not forget that the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc. have their own constituents to represent, who are already none too pleased that they didn’t more forcefully tell off the crazy bully waking the kids with his yells of “Help! Cuntface! Bitch!” at all hours of the night.

Why that poor doddering neighbor Tony, always ready to lend a hand, has already been left by his wife and kids, now convinced he’s completely lost it, for holding the ladder, which promptly fell over and hit him on the head.

Sorry about all the commas, it’s still early here. And thanks for the hearty laugh.

He didn’t (hypothetically) call her a cunt. He called her cuntface. If you had a face like a cunt, I suggest you would be quite ugly. That’s all there is to it.
So taking up this issue is both wrong and, more importantly, missing the point. Nothing more needs be said on this aspect of the post, save by trolls.

[...] This, by Brendan at Brendan Calling, is a lovely post with an exquisite target; also, therein is the best use of the word “cuntface” at least since Thomas Harris had a young Francis Dollarhyde in a flashback chapter cheerfully explain what the mean kiddies called him at school. [...]
