I love the last paragraph, about cunt having no binary and that perhaps being the source of its power/foulness. I also heartily disagree with it being a "male" word, that women don't talk about themselves like that. I see cunt quite often in my porn - the porn that's just about the sex at least, I rarely see it in more "emotional" stories. Huh, which I suppose might actually lend some credibility to the masculinity arguement. The stories are almost universally written by women, but the word appears when the sex is aggressive and masculine, even if both parties are women. Interesting thoughts you've dredged up here.
Oh, and telling everyone you write HP porn isn't that bad. Just stare at the professor to avoid the strange looks you're sure you're getting, and then try not to fall out of your chair when you're asked for links to your porn after class (it happened to me. Seriously weird).
