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 Cuntlovin’ 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. “Bright, sharp, empowering, long-lasting, useful, sexy....”—San Francisco Chronicle “... Cunt provides fertile ground for psychological growth.”—San Francisco Bay Guardian “Cunt does for feminism what smoothies did for high-fiber diets—it reinvents the oft-indigestible into something sweet and delicious.”—Bust Magazine

One of America’s finest cultural phenomena is something called The Jerry Springer Show. This is an arena akin to the Roman ones where prisoners fought to the death. On The Jerry Springer Show, the audience watches people on a stage as they emotionally and physically maul one another. The viewers at home watch both the audience

hosting the show, as everyone addressed their attention to him, a white woman who looked like a hippie gone New Age and ever so subtly corporate; and another white lady who looked like Delta Burke heralding from a Houston suburb. The Delta Burke type did most of the talking in the short time that I saw the show. She emoted on birth control, about how god-fearing Christian women can learn to monitor their cycles and figure out when they are ovulating and practice “abstinence,” or use condoms so

utterly humiliating for every U.S. citizen. The Washington Post, however, made no connection between the surprise nature of this press conference and Bush’s embarrassing behavior. 5. Since when does the Supreme Court decide who the president is? I wasn’t the best student, but I enjoyed government and history classes. I paid attention. I read the textbooks. There was nothing about the Supreme Court deciding anything about who would be president. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS. But it has been palmed off
