Cunt

Every woman should read this book. Maybe you won't do all the things in it, maybe you'll only do one. Maybe none. But it will change you and the way you see yourself and your place in this society. You won't like it and it hurts a bit at first. But everything she says is true.

I'm buying a few copies for Christmas to give to my female relatives. I suggest you do the same.

You'll laugh and cry and come away from it feeling empowered. Thank you, Inga.

A Bible

This book quickly, and understandably, becomes a sort of bible for women of all ages. I read this book for the first time when I was nineteen and trying to come to terms with my body, the happenings of my body and what the heck it all means to be a woman. If I remember correctly, I finished the book in one day. There is so much happening in this book that you just have to re-read it again and again. It doesn't leave your mind. Quickly after reading this book I started to make changes. I threw out all corporate menstrual products and bought some hand made and WOMEN AND EARTH FRIENDLY pads, which is one of the best things a woman can do for herself. I highly suggest every woman read this book with an open mind and with a love for herself and her body. It changes you in many ways and Inga Muscio, without a doubt in many of our eyes, is an absolutely wonderful woman for writing this book.

Do read this book and pass it along to your friends, male and female alike.

motivational and entertaining!!

First of all I truly believe that you need to read this book for yourself and then decide. This book covers some very important topics for all women and men alike although Inga Muscio covers many them in a sweet, light hearted and humorous way and when she needs to get serious she damn well does. This book obviously draws many strong emotions and opinions. Although I cannot agree with everything Ms. Muscio has to say, I still respect her for saying it as well as her one of a kind language and voice she uses in her writing that makes you feel like she is sitting right next to you telling you a story instead of lecturing. This books speaks to anyone with an open mind and view of the world, a big heart and a sense of humor.

Encourages Women to Support One Another

When the book first came out and Inga would find herself in social settings accosted by "So, what do you do?" questions, how she'd answer would pretty much be determined by her impression of the person asking. Usually, it was something like: I'm a writer of a women's studies book rather than blurting out, "I wrote a book about c*&^s. And you?" I found the same to be true when asked "So, what are you reading these days."

Now that I've finished reading Muscio's book, I'm quite happy to tell people about it and freely voice the title. It's not because of any one thing she's said. The book as a whole is a gem once you get past the F-word in every second sentence. It was a distraction in the beginning but not anymore so than the title of the book.

The book gives some biology, some current state of affairs, and some history on the weight women have had to bear because they have c-word(s). Muscio wants women, transgenders etc.. to reclaim the word from men. The word is just a metaphor for a bigger picture. C-word(s) haven't been important to women in the last 200+ years but they have earned men an awful lot of money, among other things. Although the bold Muscio is not so gentle with the terminology.

Muscio wants women to start regaining their power, not as men bashing feminists but as the intelligent and beautiful goddesses we are. Doing this requires some responsibilities of us. Beginning with taking back the language. Learning about our bodies, self protection. Providing a support network. Muscio covers all these things. I found the passages on bleeding and rape to be especially effective, moving and educational. I wish I had read this book as a teenager.

To say some of what Muscio has to say is eyebrow lifting is an understatement. I didn't agree with some of the things she said, especially her idolization of prostitutes into goddesses serving an important role in society. In fact, I found most of what she had to say about whores to be garbage. The profession of prostitution is just one more male dominated form of women abuse. I also refuse to smash my teevee to bits as I'm quite content to be deluded by my one channel.

If you are sensitive to swear words and church bashing, this book probably isn't for you. But if you can get past it you might just learn something about your c-word and women as a whole.

Serious stuff? Can be at times but Muscio's little life antidotes lighten things up and give perspective on her choices and thoughts. I like how she doesn't claim to know everything but encourages women to discuss the topics in their own circles.

This is the book's second edition. It includes a huge afterward of updates on Muscio's previous thoughts not because she feels anything is wrong or out of place but because ideas have evolved. She loses me a bit here when she goes off on politics and Bush (could be because I've been over-Bushed lately). At the end is an incredibly huge section of recommendations for surfing the net. Everything from alternative women's magazines and sex toys to educational resources and all natural pads.

So go pick up your book today. Read it and then start talking about it to the women in your life. Share your book with others. Encourage discussion. Only through discussion and understanding can we reclaim our C-word(s) along the other aspects of our lives.

Fishing for infectuous enthusiasm

A stellar work of misogynistic feminism that finally portrays women in the light of neomodernistic nihilism. The essential arguments favoring transgender equity collapse under the pseudo-descriptive text, which follows the title in both style and content.
