Kunti Katha
Exploring Sex-Positivity and Sex-Positive language, I decided to deconstruct the word 'Cunt'. Cunt is the only word in the English language that refers to the entirety of the female genitalia; it is what humans are born of, yet it exists as a cuss word.
The word 'Cunt' has debated origins, most of which date back thousands of years. One of these debated origins, is that it came from a woman named Kunti, an important figure in the Mahabharat, one of the most popular mythologies in India.
Kunti was the mother of the fated heroes of the epic narrative, but she also gave birth to a son out of wedlock, for which she was immediately disgraced, yet they say that once upon a time children born out of wedlock were seen as revered gifts of Maa Kunti.
