The "C" word.

So loosely has this term been used in recent years. I'm one of the very few (in my opinion) people who seriously oppose the usage of this word. There have been a select few woman I've encountered that deserve to be called this and yet so many, particularly men, use this word like it's no big deal. Tonight for example I took off and went home because a guy that I was out with would not acknowledge that the word not only offended me but bothered me severely. That's when another guy yelled the word without even knowing what was going on. Side note: I was not the only girl within ear shot of what was going on.
I chose to take off and go which to the group most likely seemed over dramatic but to me was talking a stand Seriously? I said I was offended and I seriously didn't appreciate the use of the word and it didn't matter. Ok, that's fine but I'm not going to stick around and listen to that kind of language. I reacted and hit the guy who then continued to threaten me saying don't ever do that again blah blah blah in "macho man" kind of way. Ha ha ha. Dude you don't scare me. Not to make it sound like "oh yeah I'm a badass" kind of attitude but I'm sorry...he wasn't going to hit me in any way shape or form especially in front of all those people.
I guess my point of this particular entry is to raise some sort of awareness to the blind usage of the word. It is an extremely derogatory term towards woman and its disgusting when people use it , especially women. Shame on you. Times present itself when that certain girl comes around but those are honestly few and far between. Opened my eyes tonight though, definitely made me realize that I'm ready to start growing up and not hanging out with such immature individuals. One of the guys that used the word was my crush...key word WAS. I can't even allow the attraction to happen. It was so loosely used and like it was no big deal. Call me over dramatic and making something a problem but I have yet to stick up for my morals and beliefs on a consistent basis and that's not right. Time to continue this path of strength I've been on.
