I’m sorry, but why else would Jane Fonda say “the c word” on teevee EXCEPT to get attention? If not, and it was indeed said in a “casual” way, then I must assume it’s part of her regular vocabulary, used as any other word?
Sorry, but like the “f word” and others, some words aren’t meant for use in public. Like it or not, most people find the word offensive–regardless of what’s considered a word of empowerment by a faction of feminism (not all feminists think it’s appropriate!).

“America’s Vagina” is a compliment!
Those who regard Jane Fonda as Hanoi Jane are undoubtedly salivating over her use of the C word during an interview on the Today Show with Meredith Viera and playwright Eve Ensler.
“I live in Georgia, okay? I was asked to do a monologue called “C—” and I said ‘I don’t think so. I’ve got enough problems.’ But then I came to New York to see Eve, and it changed my life. It really did.”
The segment, airing on Valentine’s Day, was meant to celebrate the tenth anniversary of V-Day, a movement to end violence against women and girls founded by Ensler which utilizes her play The Vagina Monologues to increase awareness and raise funds.

Now before you start bashing Fonda, take a look at the video.
Jane Fonda didn’t say the word to titillate, shock, or gain attention. It was the title of the piece and she said it with aplomb in a casual way.

Here in Amherst, Massachusetts our HIGH SCHOOL will perform â€˜The Vagina Monologuesâ€™ this evening. And school officials will not apologize for allowing a teenager to publicly scream the C-word. Yes, this is the same Amherst Regional High School that was the only entity in history to cancel a production of â€˜West Side Storyâ€™. Only in Amherst!
