*tears up*
*applause*
Throughout history, women have always been held to a higher moral standard- in today's society, it seems mostly by other women- and have, usually since birth, been taught that "ladies" do not "say such things". They do not cause scenes, they do not embarrass other people, etc. Many feel, because of this, that to confront another person in an offensive manner would be very mean, or bitchy, or uncouth.
On the other hand, there are those mothers, and I'm thankful they exist, that teach their daughters that you do not take shit from people. If someone gives you shit, you let them know in no uncertain terms and rip their spine out of you have to. This seems to be the growing trend today, as people become more enlightened and progressive, and not following the old path of being docile and subservient.
Guys have always had the macho card layed on them, so that means "pushing up" in front of your friends, talking shit about people you don't like, etc. It's been considered the "manly" thing to do, mostly because it's (back in times past) what seperated men from the women- agressiveness, being out-spoken, starting fights, etc.
"Cock."
I understand the Mary Poppins reference, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Proper lady and all that she is. Also, good pull on the "sucks" thing. I can't stand it when I say soemthing sucks and some (9/10 girls) girl says, "don't say sucks, that's not nice!" They usually get a speech similar to what I wrote above. And then I say some random inappropriate word, as above with "Cock."
