Cursed Genders

The article that i chose, "The Use of Offensive Language by Men and Women in Prime Time Television Entertainment, written by Barry S. Sapolsky of Florida State University and Barbara K. Kaye of the University of Tennessee, talks about the gender differences on television, and the roles in which they play becoming more universal. Women have been known to take on a more manly role and curse like men have in the past, and men vice versa. This is related to "Freedom's Curse" because they both talk about banning certain words, but it relates to women as well.
The gender related words have been banned in all television or music. Words such as gay and cunt and twat are no longer used because of their explicitive nature. Gay used to be meant as a non-offensive descriptive word, and now people use it in a completely different context. Cunt and twat are both words that relate to the female gentalia, and people have started using them as insults, to maybe call someone a coward or weak. There should be no words in the English language that are not permitted, and people need to learn to use words in the right context, so as to allow this to happen. It is amazing how many words have been banned from television and even speech. If a man or woman would use even piss in a formal conversation, it would strike the onlookers and other person as out of the ordinary, although many would let it slide, due to its clement nature. There are too many words nowadays that have been banned, and people have to go out of their way and shock others to color their language a little more than usual.
