Cuneform writing using Delta shaped symbols (the shape of a woman's public patch) was invented shortly after the invention of agriculture, Women stayed home and raised crops and children while the men were still out hunting. So, after women invented agriculture (and plant based medicine), they needed a type of record keeping to keep track of who had how many bushels of grain in the communal silo. Each woman had a unique, Delta-shaped stamp that they used on the clay tablets to keep score of how much grain went in and how much grain came out. As trade expanded the symbols evolved into a system of written communication. When men came home from the hunt and discovered that in their absence, the women had prospered beyond their wildest imagination (and were in control of all the wealth) they began trying to figure out how to take control of it for themselves. That began with defeating women. Since women had always relied on the hunters for protection, they didn't know how to war so they lost. The hunters coopted all treasure (food) and denigrated the creators of the society's wealth, thereby creating the war of the sexes which has never ended. Maybe that's a little too easy, but that's how i think of the C word. I know when it's used against me that it is meant only as the crudest and lowest of insults a woman can receive. That's the insulter's problem. There is nothing about a c**t to be ashamed of.
Cune-form merely means "c**t-shaped".
Of course, when you are called a 'c**t" in this day and age it is meant as an insult and should be immediately addressed. Somehow, just knowing the origin helps me fight back a little better.
