I think a woman can use that term - a very female one at that - with more authenticity than anyone else. Is it really any worse than the others in common usage? Like twat, cock, prick, arse, arsehole, and a few others I probably have forgotten...

Edited to add, with a slight smirk - bussy?

Weird isn't it? How we use those terms as swear words? Kind of betrays how we feel about sex. And the bits we use in that particular delightful pastime.

so if she called ardern a c--t that would be ok, not that she would’ve seeing as shes so pro labour

Nobody died, lol...

Or had their long standing pay equity claim canceled.
