Kyle: No, he's talking about "fuck." You can't say "fuck" in school, you fucking fat-ass!

Cartman: Why the fuck not?

Mr. Garrison: Eric!

Stan: Dude, you just said "fuck" again!

Mr. Garrison: Stanley!

Kenny: Fuck!

Mr. Garrison: Kenny!

Cartman: What's the big deal? It doesn't hurt anybody. Fuck-fuckety-fuck-fuck-fuck.

I hope I'm not derailing, and I am genuinely interested in the "official feminist answer" to the question below. I asked it on reddit at /r/askfeminists but it went nowhere.

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskFeminists/comments/1c4g7k/for_feminists_that_hate_rape_jokes_how_can_they/

I was driving today, and I thought minding my own business, when a woman in a pickup truck behind me started honking her horn, and I could see in my rear view mirror that she was very animatedly, violently even, flipping me off. Not just giving me the bird, but you know the emphatic twisting motions, the up / down with the whole arm to drive it home motions. She was really into it too, at one point she was driving while giving me the double horizontal fingers while gripping the wheel. All the motions indicating she was expressing saying "Get fucked" as in "Get Penetrated Violently" as in "I hope you get raped" or even "Get double raped." "F f f f fuuucccckkkk YOU!!!!!!!"

I thought it was pretty damn funny, and I had no idea why she was pissed off with me, but I assumed that I must have somehow cut in front of her or something. It certainly wasn't intentional if I did, but yeah, driving does happen. Anyway, she was on my tail and really giving me the finger, many many times over, and it was amusing but annoying, so I jammed on my brakes, hit them hard, dropped the car's speed almost instantaneously from 35 to 10 mph, ha ha, ya know, I mean she was within 20 feet of me when I did that. Watched her eyes widen in shock as she realized she was about to hit me and boy o boy did her face change from anger to terror as she hit her brakes, hard, and then a split second later, I released my brakes, no harm no foul, and drove off. Even as she sped past me a few minutes later refusing to look at me, I was pretty sure she was laughing with me at how we had both acted like dicks. Pretty funny, amirite? People are idiots.

But it made me wonder about feminists and the "F" word.

Now there is no reason to believe this woman was a feminist, and certainly not all feminists use the "F" word and not all feminists think rape jokes are horrible and are never funny, BUT

But for the presumably sizable contingent of feminists that are offended by any rape joke, and/or offended by any threat of rape, do these feminists never say "Fuck You!"?

If they do say "fuck you" how does feminist theory justify that?

He wasn't even saying "fuck you", he just said "fuck up".

I wonder what her take would be on this?

I could see something like this if he directed the profanity *at* her. But, he didn't. It was said outside of the class even.

And what will she (and they) do if I call them *fucking* busybodies?

He was lucky it was not a private institution.

@throwawaydalek: Road rage is a strange thing. You were not a person to her, you were an obstacle. She wasn't laughing at you, she was deeply pissed of that that inanimate chunk of metal in front of her did something she didn't like. Then it did something else she didn't like.

I had a similar situation once: bumper-to-bumper traffic at rush hour. I was in the left lane on the two-lane highway. The guy behind me was in a hurry, and pissed off that I wouldn't get out of his way and let him pass. Of course, I couldn't, and it wouldn't have helped anyway - the highway was just packed. But I was the immediate obstacle in his field of vision.

He started behaving pretty much as you describe, and I did the same think you did: brake, to get his attention. He forced his way into the right-hand lane (which was actually moving a bit faster) and started throwing random objects at my car as he passed. The full cans of soda were the most impressive, as they burst when they hit.

People caught up in road rage are not sane.

Move to Syracuse. We don't have traffic jams. I think I may have had to wait two turns of a light once, years ago...

She should be sentenced to a lifetime of Eric Cartman.

That's a waste of Cartman on a person who can't or won't appreciate him. I'll paraphrase something Boromir said: What is this new fuckery?

JFP, that's my favorite part of the movie!!

Fuck-fuckety-fuck-fuck-fuck!

Say it again!!

Goddamnit but I love a good swearing jag. Sometimes there are just NO other words that can convey how you're feeling at that very moment!

Fuck Barbara Pyle and people like her. She should be sentenced to a lifetime of Eric Cartman.

They. They ALL should!

"...threatened to send him to detention." This tells me just about everything I need to know about Ms. Pyle's mindset and level of intellect. It's COLLEGE for fuck's sake, not middle school! It would be funny, except that these hissy fits are given power in the current environment. This stuff will keep happening as long as the "accuser" suffers no consequence from their actions.

I have a different perspective to offer. First let me say I hope the FCC quits the nanny game. It's long overdue.

I once had a colleague who had a constant stream of verbal diarrhea - F this and S that. I wasn't offended but I was embarrassed for him because I thought he was a bright guy making himself sound like an idiot.
