20. never actually considered the c word as sexist
atleast it shouldn't be anymore sexist than calling someone a cock/prick/dick etc. Or is it that female bits are supopsed to be more "rude"? I have to admit I occasionally use it - I used to hate it but then "fuck" kinda lost it's currency as a harsh swear word (atleast here where a judge even admitted that in some usages it's really not that offensive) and sometimes you just really need a good harsh swear word.

Who is it or by what process is a word first categorised as a swear word?
