three typically male traits you will never give up.

White man's fire water no good for injun. Save it for my pet dragon.

I am a typical Irish girl.  Love Guniness.

Red Rose tea, what a shame, made in Canada only the Brits say.

Drinking beer 
farting
belching
swearing
and arguing who has the best car and the biggest hard on.
Talking dirty about their wives.

Yuck, makes a girl appreciate she doesn't need to associate with the  type anymore.

Cindy

I agree here. IMO, each one of these has a high yuck factor about them
I could not last around men like that for more than five minutes,
well not by choice anyway....when I am at work I have to deal with it
and it really makes me

I gave it some thought but I don't know if I have any male traits.
I play a guitar and while I would say I am "band worthy" if asked,
I don't brag about it....so is it a male trait?

Come to think of it, I could never be in a band, all the bar gigs
and all the men drinking lots of beer and....

Hmm! Does this count?

I have a '95 Chevy stepside *muscle truck* all black
with a 454ci SS injun W/cold air induction, yanked from another chevy,
and a 5 speed stick. in the rear sits 4.10:1 teeth.

This truck is sweet and I could never  'give it up'

...So I guess I am guilty of having a male trait

[placeholdername]

Swearing doesn't even count as a male trait anymore, women swear all the time and I know plenty that are way more foul-mouthed than I am.

In bars and night clubs, and rock concerts and at private booze parties. In general not in a public place where respect, courtesy and manners are kept if you wish to leave the impression of being a lady. So do gentlemen as well.

If anything, the impression one gives in a club, bar, party, etc is more than in the street.... Rock concerts are very different to those, but i dont think any are more prone to swearing, or less.... its jus gone up in acceptable use overall...

Depends on the social circle I guess, and maybe location -- living in a big city I can say that women swearing in public is an everyday occurrence.

[cindybc]

Social circles, place of work or business or other public places, such as restaurants any place where you wouldn't want to come off sounding ignorant. Like for instant supermarkets or shopping malls. I mean it is any one's business and freedom to swear where ever they want, but you certainly ain't gonna come off appearing to be much of a lady, and actually you will be  attracting unnecessary attention to yourself. Do you need to be put under the microscope? Why make waves if it can be avoided?

[iminadaze]

I don't know about other areas, but where I live (a little town in connecticut) there is
a town ordinance against swearing in public and the police can impose a fine if they see fit.
(not that they are around when you need them)

I would think someone can get thier point across without all that profanity,
and it does say something about thier character when they can't/won't control thier
language in public. Especially around my four year old son who just loves to say new words.

There are times when only those words will do.

[iminadaze]

You have a point Tekla, there are times when only those words would do for me too.

But what about the times when it is not needed, like standing in line at a convenience store
etc...
and the people behind you are small talkin about the girls they met the night prior
using profanity mixed with other words at a ratio of 1:1

They seem so use it as part of thier language rather than in a heated situation....

...I must be getting old

Verbal crutches. Most people grow out of them eventually.

Verbal crutches. Most people grow out of them eventually.

Absolutely correct description....

Still makes you want kick the crutches out from them
and watch them fall so to speak. but that wouldn't be nice. 

[Ellieka]

I have always believed that people use excessive profanity because they have a low IQ and even lower vocabulary.

[Rachael]

And i belive society's fear of 'naughty' words is even funnyer....

[Ellieka]

It is rather comical isn't it? Growing up in our home my brothers and I were not even allowed to say the words "butt" or "crap"...  While I don't like the use of profanity in general conversation, somehow yelling "OUCH" after cracking your head on a shelf is not near as satisfying as yelling some other explicative.

[Rachael]

I dot see why the words are bad... i know they are... but WHY?

[Alyssa M.]

What would language be without words that shock?

[Ellieka]

It stems from the only bible teaching for most people.

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."

Matthew 12:36

Or at least thats what we were taught in Bible collage.
