If I used the C word in referring to my dearly beloved wife I think It might be Glock time. Of course the woman's Irish and can't help her wee temper at all, at all.
Bull.... I know of no woman who uses that word and like the other poster said it's a sure way to feel a knee in your crotch or fist in your face to call a woman that. It's the most vulgar word ever.
I want to hear what the National Organization for Women has to say about this IMMEDIATELY!!!!
I want to hear what Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has to say about this IMMEDIATELY!!!
I want to hear what Rep. Barbara Boxer has to say about this IMMEDIATELY!!!
Here's the problem I have with this whole thing. Katie was a kicker who got on the team. This should have been a big victory for wombyn like this Hoffman character. Then she gets cussed out, beaten up, raped, run off the team, and the Coach says nasty things about her in the national media. Now the president of the school, which happens to be the Berkely of the Mountain states politically, starts taking the poor kid apart too. Because she knows which side her bread is buttered on and Football pays the bills.
It's like the way the female leftists did everything they could to get women into combat and then hated & dissed any woman that did it because they hate the military.
Much to this poor plebe's chagrin, she most assuredly did not consider this word a term of endearment.
oops...SEN. Barbara Boxer...
REP. Nancy Pelosi
It'll get the offender two kicks from this one. And Hoffman's digusting attitude is just another reason why the term higher education is an oxymoron.
Isn't this one of the reasons feminists push for women to "break the glass ceiling"? Aren't women supposed to be more sensitive to such comments, and realize how offensive they are? So much for sisterhood being powerful!
Like the (c-word) can't punt?
I'm a poet now?

This university president is a product of a home and education that termed the c word as a possible term of endearment? She is an idiot. The alumni should let her know she is an idiot. She is really out of touch with normal women.
Hey! Leave my name out of it! ;)
CU's New Technologies Department wants to put their two cents in too.
"Gee, what could this word be???"
If you guys think that's funny, you are losers to begin with.
Start your valentine to your mother, your wife, your sister, your daughter with the word.
Then you'll see how funny you are.
Some animals are more equal than others.
The last line of the article: "It would be a beautiful day for a woman to be able to say, 'Thank you. Thank you for calling me a c***," Yates said.
hmmm...militint obviously = militant

The word may have been used as a term of endearment in the Middle Ages in England, but I doubt she is that old. My ancient dictionary has it used to describe "a woman used as a sexual object." That fits its use by football players.
University of Colorado President Elizabeth Hoffman said a four-letter word used toward women can sometimes be used as a "term of endearment."
Is she out of her mind, or just lonely?
Oh, okay.
I'm UNREASONABLE to not want my mother, or an aunt, or a sister, or a daughter slurred with this word....
Rush is right...words MEAN something....
