As always, I have more to say on the topic of language. I also remember a student in class saying that men only drop the F-bomb every other word in a sentence. I beg to differ, and I actually find that statement quite sexist.
Many of my friends who are female talk like truck drivers and sailors. Now, I don’t believe that necessarily that talking that way makes them less of women in society; I feel that it’s just the colloquialisms of our society and it is easier to speak that way.
As stated in my last blog or two, its laziness that fuels the fire of vulgar language in society. To counter another statement said in class, I speak to my female friends in that type of language and they don’t seem to mind. They actually talk to me the same way. I don’t think it has anything to do with respect or how I speak to them has anything to do with how high in esteem I hold them; I simply believe it is easier to talk that way to them.
