Description In Pursuance Of Books Cunt: A Declaration of Independence

An ancient title of respect for women, the word cunt long ago veered off this noble path. Inga Muscio traces the road from honor to expletive, giving women the motivation and tools to claim cunt as a positive and powerful force in their lives. In this fully revised edition, she explores, with candidness and humor, such traditional feminist issues as birth control, sexuality, jealousy between women, and prostitution with a fresh attitude for a new generation of women. Sending out a call for every woman to be the Cunt lovin Ruler of Her Sexual Universe, Muscio stands convention on its head by embracing all things cunt-related. This edition is fully revised with updated resources, a new foreword from sexual pioneer Betty Dodson, and a new afterword by the author.

Commentary Based On Books Cunt: A Declaration of Independence

What I appreciated most about this book was the afterward, updated several years after the initial publication, and reflecting much maturity. For me it was by far the best part of the book, and we see how the author has broadened her scopes and become less reliant on unnecessary crutches (excessive use of 'cuntified' vernacular, cutesy segues...)My biggest complaint with this book is what I felt was a dismissive presentation of 'whoredom' (class and societal pressures that inform the decision to

i was reading this book and a middle-aged woman, accompanied by her husband, on the subway, asked me (timidly) what I was reading. I smiled and shrugged and flashed her the cover. She giggled. "I saw the title of the chapter," she said. I flipped back a few pages to see what the title of the chapter was. In big, bold print I saw it: "Blood and Cunts." I giggled. The middle aged woman giggled. Together, we giggled. For the sake of interactions like this, everyone should read this book in public,

I wanted to like this. I really did.And it started out so great.The blurb talked about how the c word used to be a powerful word for women, so I guess I assumed that the whole book would be analysing the evolution of such a powerful word into one of the worst curse word known. And, well, there's only one chapter on that. One tiny little 5 page chapter. The rest is a misandry-filled rant (I'm sorry, but that really is what it is).Look, Inga and I just have super different views on what feminism

This book is appallingly bad. I bought it for a couple of reasons. First, I am about to teach Lady Chatterly's Lover for the first time, and I thought any book that makes the case for widespread use of "cunt" was an important bit of prep for D.H. Lawrence's infamous classic. Second, I was under the impression that the book delivered an overview of the etymology of "cunt." Third and last, I read Betty Dodson's introduction and was led to believe that Cunt A Declaration of Independence was the

I should have been an easy audience for this book; after all, I accepted the blurb's premise almost a year before I picked up a copy. I'm a cunt; I've got a cunt; the etymological root of vagina means sheath for a sword; I don't define women by men. Sure, I'm there. I've been there for years.But by Curie's irradiated notebook am I sick of spirituality and togetherness being woman's domain. We can absolutely talk about sea-sponges instead of tampons but lets not pretend that our half of the

I wanted to like this. I expected to like this. And there were parts of it I thought were great and empowering and powerful. But mostly, it made me roll my eyes or sigh or get annoyed and throw it on the floor. Muscio says more than once that she's a white woman who grew up middle class and is aware of her privilege, but she tells it to you more than she shows it. The language is very informal, which is fine, but there's a lot of words that are used informally that sound either southern (which

A wo-manifesto for the 3rd wave (and 4th?) or feminism.I haven't read the new edition.I wrote this review of Cunt for the Winter 1999/Spring 2000 issue of The MSRRT Newsletter. This was the last issue of The MSRRT Newsletter that I wrote for, possible the last issue of The MSRRT Newsletter that was ever produced.Reading this book is a lot like listening to the righteous rants of your best girlfriend or beloved older sister. The author preaches and teaches a girl power that has little to do with
