> Well, thanks for your interesting feedback, all. I appear to have offended some, which wasn’t my intention, and I apologise if that’s the case. I think discussion about terminology is still one that merits attention, but I will look elsewhere for discourse of a less reactionary character.

Since the OP intends to look elsewhere for enlightenment as to why “cuntic” might not be a suitable term for a post-grad essay, I’m going to go ahead and close this.
