Dear people,

This isn't about the F word, it seems to me, but about the C word.  The word 
is used over here as a very coarse term of abuse, for men or women equally; 
my understanding is that in America, it's specifically directed (when it's 
used at all) at women.  Seen in that light, the words of that bilious ditty 
are indeed misogynist.

For what it's worth, I thought it was completely unfunny.  Maybe that's the 
point...
