Was this directed at me, E?

I just meant that it's rare for American television to hear the word c**t used so often. I'm well aware that cussing existed then, and in abundance. I just love the realism of the show. I read one reviewer who bristled at hinted lesbianism, saying that women wouldn't have done that then....etc.....WHAT? WHAT?! Morons. MORONS!

So, yeah. I just meant the show is incredibly unflinching and true to the time period it's about.
