so ... pussy ...
for me it's a normal word.
not one I'd use when talking to my mother (cos she's a bit of a prude
), but certainly one I use in everyday conversation.
Wether or not it's offensive depends for me not on its meaning, but on the context within which it's used. If it's used in an abusive way then it's offensive. Purely as a descriptive word for the female genitalia it's not offensive at all.
But ... It's a word which doesn't normally belong on the general forum so modding it out was ok.
What I didn't find ok was certain OTT reactions to something which had already been long resolved by the simple fact of its having been modded.
There were various aspects of the following conversation which I found considerably more offensive than the original post.
A little humour, tolerance & open-mindedness can go a long way, as can being prepared to have a normal discussion about something without resorting to insults.
