It's International Women's Day so we're doing a club about the B-word! Wait, what? This word is full of history and is probably the most gendered insult in the English language. To understand this word and how it's been used over the years is necessary to understand what women have gone through and continue to go through in society. Let's watch a surprisingly smart documentary together and have an awesome discussion about language and the struggle for gender equality!_x000D_

In this club, we'll be focusing on the fascinating etymology, history, and cultural significance of the infamous B-word!_x000D_

This club will involve dirty words. Are you afraid of that? Do you think swear words are a sign of low education? Where do the f-word, b-word, and s-word actually come from? The truth is that swear words are not only a part of language but also a part of history and daily communication. To truly understand a culture, you must understand their swear words and how they're used. So let's do that!_x000D_

Let's watch a really cool show hosted by the great Nicolas Cage called The History Of Swear Words. Let's learn about where these words come from, how they've changed, and the amazingly diverse way they can be used. They're actually often used in complementary and soothing ways, rather than just as insults. To truly master a language, you need to at least know how to use them and understand when others do._x000D_

This is going to be both fun and oddly fascinating!_x000D_
