(135,425 posts)You can't say it on DU.
The Ladies of The View and The Talk can say it, but you cannot. You can hear it on entertainment shows, movies, television series (one even had it in the title of the show) but don't type it here or risk disapprobation.
Rappers can rap it, actors can shout it, and you will see it in literature, in magazines, and even in empowering FEMINIST webpages, but say it here on DU and you will have your "a-word" handed to you.
That is a word that is censored here and has been for awhile. The whole "names will never hurt me" vibe is not operative on this site, which can be problematic. There is a deliberate refusal to see context in some corners. You just have to roll with it, or risk hides and alert stalking.
