Relation During Books Cunt: A Declaration of Independence

An ancient title of respect for women, the word cunt long ago veered off this noble path. Inga Muscio traces the road from honor to expletive, giving women the motivation and tools to claim cunt as a positive and powerful force in their lives. In this fully revised edition, she explores, with candidness and humor, such traditional feminist issues as birth control, sexuality, jealousy between women, and prostitution with a fresh attitude for a new generation of women. Sending out a call for every woman to be the Cunt lovin Ruler of Her Sexual Universe, Muscio stands convention on its head by embracing all things cunt-related. This edition is fully revised with updated resources, a new foreword from sexual pioneer Betty Dodson, and a new afterword by the author.

Assess Based On Books Cunt: A Declaration of Independence

The way I felt about Cunt while reading wasn't always completely consistent. While I mostly always enjoyed reading the book itself, I more often than not found myself shaking my head or pursing my lips and sitting there and really thinking about what point Muscio brought up and offered to readers, and where I stood on it (quite often, I couldn't have been further from complete agreement with her).Which, really, I think was the whole point of the book in the first place. It might be that, in

Warning: This book is pretty vulgar. I suppose the title could have tipped you off. Oddly, I expected a more academic book. A look at the word its history and its affect on our society. Muscio is anything but academic. She is an artist, and the book is filled with personal anecdotes and her thoughts on life. There is no stuffy distance between her and her writing. Her approbation of menstrual blood made me uncomfortable (she enjoys watching it splash to the floor). Her retelling of her 3

I can't even type the title because I don't want this review or my blog to be labeled as Adult. Suffice it to say, it's a four-letter word, beginning with C, referring to a body part belonging to half the human race. Interesting, ain't it, that a body part is just about the most offensive word in the English language? I even got yelled at for mentioning the book in public...oh well, guess I shouldn't have brought up the subject in playgroup, LOL! Luckily I live in Japan, so nobody fussed at me

I wanted to like this. I expected to like this. And there were parts of it I thought were great and empowering and powerful. But mostly, it made me roll my eyes or sigh or get annoyed and throw it on the floor. Muscio says more than once that she's a white woman who grew up middle class and is aware of her privilege, but she tells it to you more than she shows it. The language is very informal, which is fine, but there's a lot of words that are used informally that sound either southern (which

i was reading this book and a middle-aged woman, accompanied by her husband, on the subway, asked me (timidly) what I was reading. I smiled and shrugged and flashed her the cover. She giggled. "I saw the title of the chapter," she said. I flipped back a few pages to see what the title of the chapter was. In big, bold print I saw it: "Blood and Cunts." I giggled. The middle aged woman giggled. Together, we giggled. For the sake of interactions like this, everyone should read this book in public,

At first glance, an uneducated person would scream about the "vulgar title" and avoid this book at all costs. The term "cunt" was never a negative term until it got hijacked by the male dominated bigots of society. It's origin is actually one of power and beauty. Do your homework judgmental America. Sadly, this knee jerk reaction keeps many people from opening their minds and learning. This is a book of empowerment. This is a battle cry for all women, and men had better pay damn close attention.

I just re-read Cunt because I was feeling sorry about the lack of (conscious) feminism in my life lately. This book was a great kickstart. Muscio's book deals with both the word "cunt" and the body part it has come to represent. She spends a short time explaining some of the word's origins and how it came to be so reviled, then launches into multiple chapters on cunts themselves: what they are, how they work, how they have been abused, and what women can do to ensure their respect. I would have
