The chapter on Profanity in my latest book The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls explains all of this
Also: Fuck is a Feminist word
“When the fascist fucks in your country use a pandemic to tighten their grip on your body with a near total ban on abortion, the path to freedom must be paved with profanity. Politeness is capitulation.” https://www.feministgiant.com/p/fuck-is-a-feminist-word

Fuck civility
Whether we are urged to be civil to racists or polite to patriarchy, the goal is the same: to maintain the power of the racist, to maintain the power of patriarchy. https://lithub.com/mona-eltahawy-civility-will-not-overturn-the-patriarchy/
Mona Eltahawy Would Like You to Fuck Right Off With Your Civility Politics:
"I refuse to allow those who don't recognize my full humanity to expect politeness of me https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgq8nz/mona-eltahawy-would-like-you-to-fuck-right-off-with-your-civility-politics

I believe that profanity is politically important.

"If decent language has not been used to effect change...of what use is it? I would rather insult and change things, revise the balance of power, than keep quiet or be polite in ways that do not change anything," @drstellanyanzi, wearing FUCK OPPRESSION sash and a tiara
Ugandan feminist Dr. Stella Nyanzi has harnassed profanity into a political force. She was put on trial for offending the longtime dictator of her country. During her sentencing she yelled “Fuck you fuck you fuck you” and bared and jiggled her breasts. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/mar/19/prison-irrepressible-stella-nyanzi-uganda-poet
She is running for a seat in the Ugandan parliament in the 2021 elections and she is not shutting up.
Polite feminism is capitulation. These times of fascism and greed must be met with the political power of profanity. https://www.feministgiant.com/p/fuck-is-a-feminist-word

I wrote a chapter on the political importance of profanity in The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/609114/the-seven-necessary-sins-for-women-and-girls-by-mona-eltahawy/9780807013816/
There is nothing polite about fascism. There is nothing civil about grabbing pussies. There is nothing polite about putting children in cages. There is nothing respectable about leaving 310k to die of a pandemic. There is nothing civil about white supremacy, fuckers.
