I believe that my vocabulary is very, VERY colorful but I hate the judgmental comments I get when I say a word that someone does not like.
1. "You are unprofessional."
I curse in front of friends. And in grunts of frustration. I do not go to an employer or a professional boss and say, "Shit." or any other curse words. There is a time and place to say things.
2. "You only curse for attention."
I don't know a single woman who swears just to get attention. Personally, I've never thought cussing would magically make me stand out or appear sexier or more confident or tough, either. But if you're a woman who loves to swear, some people are going to think you only developed Sailor Mouth or a trucker mouth because you're an attention-seeker.
3. "You are just trying to be 'one of the guys'."
This one I CANNOT stress enough. Just because I curse, does not mean I am more manly then feminine.
4. "You try to be cool."
Just because I said "Damn" does not mean I am trying to fit in by any means. But thank you for asking about my popularity.
5. "You are far from classy."
First of all, no one should get to tell grown women whether or not we're classy enough; we get to decide that for ourselves. Let's open the book to music guru's who use swears. Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lily Allen, and Lana Del Rey all curse in their songs, and they are the classiest people I have ever met.
6. "My religion is against this."
I swear I hear this more than ten times a day. Just because I say the F word, does not mean I worship Satan, but thanks.
7. "You have terrible manners."
Okay, okay. I do not say all the curse words at the dinner table.
8. "You must drink like sailors."
What does cursing have anything to do with alcohol?
9. "You must have a poor vocabulary."
No comment for this one.
10. "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"
I kiss everyone with this mouth. Sometimes I pass "the cursing bug" to other people. *gasp*
Here are ten things that I, as a woman, am sick of hearing because I curse.
