Cunt is an interesting book that I think moves to shed light on a more modern femininity in a shocking fashion as many of our classmates have pointed out. Muscio is interesting and frustrating at the same time. She sees a core problem in the way womenhood is approached by women and men alike in society and throughout time. However, I do not see the point in a lot of the ways Muscio tackles certain subjects. I understand what she is trying to do and the messages she is trying to relay/ reveal, but the method and delivery is sometimes just as important if not more than what is actually being said. The deliberate in your face presentation of the material, in my opinion takes away from the essence of the book. In fact, I think it is the reason or part of the reason that a lot of feminist books about women and their experiences are repudiated and simply dismissed in mainstream academia. I cetainly do not want to say that the thoughts and works of others should be blanketed to fit within the mainstream, but there are certain discretions that should be taken. I am not sure who Muscio was thinking of in terms of her audience when she wrote this book, because some components just do not fit. I do like what Muscio has to say, but I think the presentation of the material could have been a bit more refined.
