Yeah cunt is really a very crude word, isn't it? I curse plenty, probably more than I ought to, and I don't generally use the word at all unless I'm describing a miserably shitty person. I'm sure my American heritage has an impact on my conditioning toward that word but I always grew up with it being a taboo word, even sometimes over slurs. You "don't say" cunt. I feel like the term has softened these last ten years or so, or maybe I'm just becoming more comfortable with it.
I still wouldn't ever use it sexually. It just feels degrading.
A vagina is a medical term. A pussy is a sexual vagina. Cunt? Almost feels like you're reducing the sex to something that somehow removes the woman from it. Like "a sexual plaything". I don't know, it's hard to describe.
You represent your username nicely here and I agree with your sentiment.
