Are Women Becoming More Foul Mouthed?

November 20 2012

I just want to pose this question and get some feedback. Two weeks ago when I was walking our small dog (he was off the lead at the time) he ran up to a bigger dog being walked by a mother and daughter. Now our dog, Finn, occassionally has small dog syndrome when he pretends to nip bigger dogs. The mother started yelling abuse at me because she said that Finn had bitten their dog (which he hadn't) and then tried to kick my dog. She then started yelliing foul language at me.   This morning in the same park I saw the daughter walking their dog so I put Finn on the lead. We where about 20 metres away when she then started yelling abuse at me about the last time. ( she used the c word and fuck etc etc and was going to report me to the police). I was so incensed I told her I would stick my walking stick up her arse and it just got worse from then.   If this had happened to me many years ago I would of just walked away and not said anything. I was actually quite shocked that I had to resort to foul language to get my point across, since it is something I that quite detest with women. I have been the brunt of foul mouthed women at our local shopping centre too.   So why do women have to resort to this language and do you think it becoming more wide spread?   Pusscat xxx   (PS foul language in the bedroom is another thing entirely and is fun )

    I have a pretty foul mouth on me in some circumstances.   I found that as Ive worked in very male dominated industrys (abattoirs and transport) on the floor with the men and not necessarily in the office my language has detriorated. I know that I could regulate my own language and not lower myself to the level that was being used aroundm ebut you know what? Sometimes it was easier to speak in the same vernacular...use a commmon language that the guys I was working with understood.   Through this acceptance in the work place I have found that this kind of language has slipped more and more into day to day useage.   I try to regulate what I say around children, older people and anyone I know who has an issue with it but sometimes it does just slip out.   I find that the use of 'foul' language has become so common place and more widely accpeted that we dont realise that we are even using the those words. It is extremly prevalent in the acronyms used by many in text speak or online (FFS; LMFAO etc) and thus its is being used more vocally also. I believe that many people would say 'fuck' without even realising that the have even used that word (I know I do).   Have we (women) become more foul mouthed? Absolutely! But so has the majority of society. Its become more accepted than it once was.   Kisses Focus

    They're just fucking with you? Fuckin yeah mate... :p. all jokes aside though I think that women these days aren't exposed to the chivalrous natured gentleman as they used to be, so they clearly have no way of identifying it.

    I have been known to drop quite a few nasty words when enraged enough and when I feel backed into a corner. I agree, people, especially women nowadays - it seems To be acceptable behaviour and so natural :(.

    Like you Pussycat I don't understand the need for it...my take on it is that people in general are becoming more aggressive which leads to the greater use of these words to try and get a point across or show their frustration. My partner is one of them and it irritates me everyday.   Also like you Focus, I have been working in a rough male oriented field of installation crews and know they use that kind of language often, but don't slip into it myself...and have always been accepted readily as a trusted and knowledgable person where my actions speak louder than any words.   Being raised that such language was never to be used around ladies, I find it difficult to understand why so many of them need to use it along with anger when they find something displeases them.

    Worked in the shearing shed for 20 odd years and I can tell you, I can swear with the best of them. I generally dont though and I have noticed that the younger women tend to swear more readily than I did at thier age. Maybe just the two women you met...like mother like daughter.... It is not thier fault that they are turkeys and can not soar with us eagles. Seriously, have you listened to the music that they listen to? Have you noticed how profanity is sneaking in more and more on the radio and tv these days? Just another sign of the times. On the other hand...why are you not complaining about men swearing more? What is sauce for the goose and all that...

    People generally seem more aggressive than they did even just 10 years ago and perhaps a sign of the times although something I can live without. thanks. Not only in how they speak but driving, walking in the shopping centers and so on can be less than a lot of fun. The language of the younger folks say from 21 down is to me just staggering and not like a happy drunk wandering through town. Upside is the young ones that don't buy into it stand out and most likely will evolve gracefully, maybe they can be the roles models for the next generation to chase.   Does it bother me, hell yes and I will intervene if the language offends others less capable of looking after their own. Other than that I usually just tell them 'Keep it up and I'm gunna fuck you up so bad your mumma won't recognize yer dumbass'.   *shrugs* ...works for me.

    find a different park to walk your little pooch,these women seem to be very aggressive and their language is just a sympton of that. Have women become more foul mouthed?I haven't really noticed any significant change although the Fbomb no longer seems to be a word that is regarded as being quite so abhorent.I hate the c word being used as an insult,mainly men who do this and the use of motherfcker makes me positively cringe. When my daughter was a child she would regularly swear then look at me for a reaction,my cure was to say out of the blue,''bugger ,bugger,bitch,bum''...she hated that sooo much and stopped swearing.I don't think I have heard her swear since.x R

    I might just be a tough old bird whom being brought up in a shearing shed has heard all manner of colourful language.But its not the language that disturbs me in your situation Pussycat.Its the Attitudes,and how the mother of that child has taught her that its acceptable to resolve conflict with violence either verbal or psychical.I think Global warming has given most people the wrong idea...The Planet is Fine....The People are F@#K%D...!

And why shouldnt I?I AM NOT SWEARING, when I am on the phone or angry with poeple, eaven I want to sometimes, I swear to myself after. Or I use the f word when I have a conversation however then it is not ment to hurt. hmmm is this wrong???? to do? I dont see why?

    yeagh! its not that so much as lauguage is a cultural thing and fluid   remember when Rhett said DAM all hell broke loose   its not illegal to say fuck in public anymore and its just an expression like any other , though I tell my girls not to speak like that in public as it may offend others.   people make judgements by things like your language   I try to be the lady out and about, but then when around friends or in bed all bets are off.

    They were afraid, it was fear talking. Fear that their dog may hurt or be hurt. I have a german shephard x, people are afraid of him and little dogs are a pest at the best of times. small dog syndrome, I have to agree witht that. My dog will ignore them and owners try to grab their little dogs back but they just keep on comming. I have to dig my heels in when my dog then starts to get pissed off, he will not react at first. But after a while he goes into guard dog mode and I can see vet bills flashing before my eyes. I would have said to her, I am sorry your upset and yes your right, I should have had control of my dog and it will not happen again. I want to share the park with you and your dog and maybe with some training as in walking past each other and the dogs getting used to each other then it can work out. But we fire up, we get upset as most do with their pets small dogs are like big dogs, you need to train them like a dog and not a person. Back to doggie classes no matter what the age of your dog it should never be bad onlead or off lead. I spend years of every sunday training my dog, and he now does what he is told with handsignals on the beach or in a park he knows who is boss and its me.   Never pay attention to your dog if he yaps at others when on the lead, just say walk on firm and keep going , people tend to growl at the dog and say bad dog yada yada , dont golden rule   Never pick your little dog up and hold it to you when another big dog somes , let them sort it out. or the dog will jump up and get you.

    Well this woman has taught her daughter well(not), the daughter is learning by example from the parent, it is a very sad thing indeed. I do swear at times but use control, I don't feel I need to swear to get my message across and only certain times when needed and usually not in amongst a crowd, ie if I am driving and no one hears me, an idiot cuts in front or there is a near miss, I do let out an expletive.   I have taught my daughter to be aware of where, when she swears, ie. not elderly and depending on the place and situation, she is a logical, intelligent woman and while she does swear is careful where she uses it.

    It's not just women, men are losing that old school respect of how you should/nt speak in front of a lady. However, if you want to be treated like a lady, behave like one and see if people change the way they treat you

    Quoting 'tuscanred'   I would have said to her, I am sorry your upset and yes your right, I should have had control of my dog and it will not happen again. I want to share the park with you and your dog and maybe with some training as in walking past each other and the dogs getting used to each other then it can work out. Tuscan I did try that yesterday and all I got was abuse. It's more the aggression from these women that scares me more than anything. It is because life is now so fast paced that we haven't got time to be nice to anyone these days or discuss a problem without hurling abuse? Finn is a totally changed dog from when we first got him - he had been badly abused by his first owners and was scared of everyone and everything. 99% of the time he is just fine with bigger dogs and the odd occasion that he isnt most people just laugh it off.

    Working in a male dominated environment I find I can have a foul mouth for a woman with in my work environment. (Though it is accepted and does put men more at ease when conversing) Saying that I have been a foul mouthed female when things go wrong.....I did dislike how people are no longer accountable for their behavior. in certain situations However as someone explained to me the other day. Why take initiative when if things go pear shaped due to unforeseen circumstances their arse is on the line. This I did judge a person as being incompetent however I have now changed my views and swear a little less.In answer to your question though .... yes I believe being articulate in the way we speak is becoming a past time for for most and as the generations appear to be coming through thick and fast .........

    But my biggest pet hate is people that think it is ok to allow their dogs off a lead when out and about! If you can't put it on a lead then don't take it for a walk! I am sure you would get abusive if you saw a large dog off a lead coming up to have a go at your yapper! I used to hold my Germ Shep x back when a yapper would run up to him...now I loosen the leash just that little bit so my dog can have a little nip! I can tell you now there is not one dog in my neighbourhood that walks without a lead anymore! xFunlovingx
