...As if it refers to a woman's character or something. Where does the offense come from. Can't a man just admire a woman and feel sensuality toward her? Why should there be offense. It's not like saying that women are stupid. My mom was very defensive against any language that refered to the woman's parts: Tytts or pucie, or anything like it. Tell me why??? Men don't find offense at a woman refering to a man's parts in the same manner.

I don't find them offensive, but I was raised by a father that has a pretty "dirty" mouth, so most cuss words are just adjectives to me.
My favorite word is c unt. It's derived from Latin meaning, wedge, why it has become a bad word is beyond me, oh well.

Well I do not know why they might be known as homosexual or like a lady. Feminism naturally is towards guys and any guy who promotes feminism has betrayed his possess gender it's that sensible. I was a feminist supporter. I attended rallies hung leaflets and all of that. But at a rally one feminist stood up and mentioned that each one guys had been pigs and rapists adding the ones people that had been there to support. Did the girl get pulled of the level no she obtained a status ovation. And I left feminism at the back of and began discovering it deeper and I learned that they aren't out for equality they're out to make the arena supply them the whole thing they desire. I spotted they did the identical matters they accused guys of. Any guy the helps the destruction and oppression of different guys is a traitor simply that sensible.

We are talking about bodily parts, right? Be we men or women or something in between we all have them so why be coy and talk as though we don't. Buit I don't like some of the coarse slang and uncouth expressions used.
Personally, I hate weasel words. Like the word 'boobs', invented by the Sun one of the trash papers in Britain. I prefer breasts or even t---, that's a good old Anglo-Saxon word and what's wrong with that.
I hate the word 'p----', that's demeaning and is nonsensical. Again I prefer the A-S 'fanny'.
Let's get real.

As a man I draw offence at your generalisations. I try really hard not to belittle women ... or men. If I use a derogatory term and it offends someone for whatever reason, I feel obliged to apologise. Pretty simple yeah?

It's not just feminists. Lots of women find it offensive to have their body parts being discussed by males or other women. It's crude and inappropriate. Polite people know better to refrain from mentioning private body parts. Those with no manners don't.

the technical answer is because it is belittling to women and their sexuality.
personally, i get mad because i don't feel that my genitalia should be used as an insult, or as a way of judging my worth.
I do know men that have a serious problem with being referred to by insulting names for their genitalia as well. Just because you don't doesnt mean all men don't.

I think it depends on which word and in what context, and with which woman.
Hard to make a general statement about it.
I do think words like vagina and penis belong in the doctor's office, in reproductive health classes, and on Yahoo Answers. In the heat of the moment, they're almost insulting words to use because they're so clinical.

Men are VERY sensitive, too, about such words. Men don't like women to call them "weanies", or "titty-babies", or "pencil-dics" or "dip-stick" or "gorilla-butt" or other masculine anatomical sexual slang. It's funny how some boys think it's OK to talk this way around a girl, yet, can you just imagine meeting your girlfriend's father and saying, "Yeah, dude, your little princess biatch is a really tight pucie." LOL. It's amazing how fast some boys learn common courtesy when it's a man they are talking to and not a little girl.

It's the subliminal fear of a vagina with TEETH that frightens the inexperienced male and inspires them to use any old a 'break a leg' word in protection. The uglier the words, the more superstitious are the men. It's a sign of the obsessional craving for one of women's most endearing assets, that they deny it so vehemently.
