        Agent Zero might very well be a moron, but there's nothing wrong
with using the curse word "cunt."  In fact, the word can be particularly
amusing when used in the British way, i.e., as a curse against a man.  I
believe that Agent Zero has used it against both genders, so let us at least
acknowledge that.  Although, when it comes right down to it, it shouldn't
matter anyway...

        I had a discussion about a month ago with a woman who was acting all
self-righteously outraged because some guy had called her a cunt...  She
insisted that this was extremely sexist and that any man who uses this term
against a woman should be made to suffer for it.  I reminded her that she
often went around calling men pricks, and she said that was different.
Personally, I won't stand for this double standard.  If we're going to talk
about pricks, then we are entitled to talk about cunts.
