Is It ok for women to use F&C.

Mutter · 16/02/14 - 01:14

I've been reading another forum, one of the biggest I believe and the women including mothers, use F and C and T all the time. C, I find abhorrent.

Even their usernames are made from those words.
I personally hate it. I would never have spoken in front of my child like that and they must do so as it's impossible to switch off in front of the children.

I've read the T&C which states it's fine as we are all adults.

Do you use those words at home?
I reserved the first for the bedroom.

Yes in a temper I may use the first, but I'm not proud of it. Never in front of my child.

So do you use those words at home?

I don't have children so I F and C to my heart's content.

[Deleted User] · 16/02/14 - 01:20

Yes and anyone regardless of gender has the right to use them words

Is F&C a posh clothing store?

Landis · 16/02/14 - 01:23

To be honest, I am amazed that Mumsnet allow this.

I only use bad language when I'm angry. The angrier I get, the more I use them. I never use bad language casually though. It's not something I feel comfortable saying when I'm calm.

It's a abbreviation right

Well anyone can have fish and chips if they want to and even ask for them and use them as a username

blueblade · 16/02/14 - 01:24

F & C ?

Foreign & Colonial maybe ?

Fahrenheit and Celsius ?

Fish & chips ?

Who knows ?

Aneechik · 16/02/14 - 01:25

I find it a little bit sexist to expect women not to swear.

However, parents should try not to swear in front of children as they pick things up very easily and learning to moderate how you speak according to who you're speaking to is part and parcel of good manners.

Bex_123 · 16/02/14 - 01:30

I don't see why it would be different for a woman than a man.

I would never swear in front of children. To be honest, if someone swears so much they can't switch it off or be aware of when they are doing it... Then they have issues.

Yes I use F a lot. If I stopped using it I would probably reduce my vocabulary by about 25%

I never use the C word and I hate hearing it, it makes me wince.

That's F and F.... If you call Tesco posh.

I'm shocked that you would use that expression even in abbreviated form

Yes, this was my F'in first thought, but I didn't want to come across as a total C.

I prefer to use foxtrot uniform Charlie kilo and Charlie uniform November tango

Sorry that most here are too sozzled to reply.

Sad that the alcohol problem in the UK is so severe.

Raquelos. · 16/02/14 - 02:03

I don't believe that having a c has ever made me think twice about using the word. If anything it makes me feel more qualified.

I find the idea that my gender should preclude me from using any particular words abhorrent.

victor mel · 16/02/14 - 02:05

What's the T word?

Wow.

That's the spirit, bounce back from having the piss taken out of your thread by calling the miscreants involved alcoholics.

trayhop123 · 16/02/14 - 02:09

is it tesco ?

See now that is offensive, maybe Mumsnet is your perfect home

No, I think when a woman opens her mouth and those words come out she just makes herself look cheap, common and uneducated. I know a lot of men hate it when women speak like that, I work in a male dominated job, out of about 80 men there are 6 women, the other women at work use the F and C words, the men are noticeably far more respectable toward me than the other women, they treat me like a lady because that's how I behave.

How is it impossible not to switch off swearing in front of children if you're on mumsnet, yet you said you swear but not in front of children.

What a bizarre idea that we're not in control of what we say. I use both f*** and c*** and have two small nieces, work with teenagers for the last 10 years and not once have I ever used the word c**t or f**k in front of any of them.

Ps women aren't allowed to swear? Seriously?

Hey there!
