WOW Maureen? I agree. High in the Italian Alps where Strega Nona came from is a farm that has only 1 cow. It's better to have cheese & milk for a long time THAN that tender tenderloin OR that ribeye just 1 time. You can lead a cow to water BUT you can't make it drink. You can drag a dead cow to water BUT I KNOW you won't ever get it to drink. My 1st wife taught me that it was OK to say cunt & even nigger if used in the proper context. Don't worry folks SHE was a woman & she was black...

Coincidence OR no... The lost tribes decided ephigy was a golden cow. Matriarcal destruction. Beuwolf kills Grendel. I wouldn't be surprised if the Old English text describes her as cowlike. Just a thought. Don't have a cow. HUGS Maureen...

You’re a hoot my friend! I think there’s something to the cow definition of the word and the erasing of the female in religion, almost makes me want to go back to university. Do check out the Ted talk the history of a nasty word, you will love it. xomo

But when the calf grows to be ones own heifer, what then. If it should grow into a juvenile bull. What a Cont & Bull story that will be. I enjoyed this, but don't know why. Peace sis

As your response amuses me! As for the bull, ai love love love pro bull riding! It’s my favourite spectator sport right next to steeplechase. Peace and love, xomo

Almost… <3 I want to learn more! The cow meaning has me wondering if there may be some link to the quashing of the golden calf and ultimately the goddess. Enquiring minds want to know! Thank you Gershon, xomo

It is so fascinating, how language is used, and used so nefariously to subjugate women in particular. Do google the Ted talk on the C word, it is poetically delightful. I promise you will giggle. xomo

Thank you lovely! There is a wonderful and entertaining and wholly informative Ted Talk on the c word, a few fabulous old limericks are shared, do treat yourself! xomo

Wowza super Mo, no holds barred and rightly so, you call them by their real name, the judges as well, Dumb C*nt’s or perhaps that’s what they prefer to call women, so they can choose for you, cheers David

I, just, couldn’t, help myself! At least the whole thing is highlighting the lack of access and legal status in my own country, hopefully for fuelling change for the better. I got my info from a fabulously funny Ted Talk on topic, several old poems are included that are such a hoot. Cheers my dear, xomo!

A little lesson in the latin origin of the v words, vagina is a scabbard, a sheath, a sword holder, vulva is a wrapper. Both of these words refer to their uses, the c word is the only word that belongs to the woman, and it has not always been nor is it everywhere, a “bad word”.
