After all, the uterus is strong enough without any prior conditioning to squeeze a full-term infant out of a passageway normally the width of the average human penis. That passageway is pretty damned strong and resilient, too.<br /><br />The human testes, however, shrink up into the nearest body cavity at nothing more than being submerged in cold water at the beach.<br /><br />I rest my case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427538608110635294.post-70165246797108362112009-04-22T18:22:00.000-05:002009-04-22T18:22:00.000-05:00Fractals - excellent analogy!

"Male" insults on the other hand, I find often make those so-named puff up with pride as if being a dick is an accomplishment above and beyond! <br />That said, yes, I confess I have called women "cunt"...rarely, but for those cases when I feel said woman has betrayed her gender by being nothing except a sexual receptacle.

I think it's basically like "kike" or faggot." Now I just call everyone assholes.<br /><br />(I do also call people - mostly myself - "dicks." But I'm not as concerned about language that is about men, I guess.)<br /><br />But, agreed that "twat" and "cunt" are not borderline cases. Not a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
