Message: [QUOTE="bevosu, post: 292665, member: 46"] Some of us lived through the transition from ..men in certain environments would use serious swear words..sometimes to emphasize a point, sometimes in anger, sometimes to prove they were cool with their peers, other times (in school) to embarrass a female. Some families were more liberal with the use of swearing...others not. In the mid to late 60's public swearing started to become more common in mixed gender groups. Women seemed to disarm the power men thought they had as far as using swear words to embarrass females, by using the words themselves. On the one hand that was good..on the other maybe not so good. Now I think it has gotten to the point that it's kind of ridiculous...and classless. I'm getting old, but I don't see where the overly casual use of foul language is a positive reflection on where our culture/society has gone. [/QUOTE]
