@snowy fluffybunny has always been a term for lady parts. The abuse aspect of fluffybunny is pure misogynistic bullshit - same as calling someone a pussy. it's a reference to a female-related thing, so therefore 'weak' or 'less than'.
Logically speaking, it's even stupider when you think of what lady parts handle - childbirth, sex etc. A cock gets whacked and the guy is curled up on the ground.
And yes fuck, and fucker were always about the sex act in the past.

not always a form of abuse
No, not always. Can be used in colloquial language like fuck can.
It is unlikely that people walked around saying what a good fluffybunny King John was after signing the Magna Carta though (the expression - I have no idea whether he was a good fluffybunny or not).

Would suggest that being called a cock or dick is much the same? Nothing sexist about it? Just terms of abuse to use sexual organs to describe people that you don't like?
Interesting history though.

Hardly. When do women get referred to as cocks?

Point was that referring to people as genitalia isn't always gender specific (don't want to go down that road - I'm already confused about other peoples gender identity crises). Men do get referred to as fluffybunnies as well though.
Thinking about it for male parts, cock, penis, dick, knob, bellend, many more I'm sure. There aren't so many for women that I can think of...

Not sure that is true. Derived from this:
pusillanimous
adjective
showing a lack of courage or determination; timid.Cats were labeled pussy. Female parts got called that afterwards (furry, warm and soft maybe) language and connotations evolve of course but "scaredy cat", timid animals are probably the origin of calling someone a pussy. Nothing misogynistic, related to women or suchlike.
Yes, the origin of expressions and words interests me.

The Americans.
Consistently one of the best shows each season.
Wonder what the main actors will get up to next?

Enjoyed Season 1 of Harrow, starring Ioan Gruffudd.
Essentially a non-fantastical version of 'Forever' but set in Australia.

BBC Crime Drama Luther just finished up over here. Only saw about half of the 6 episodes by fluke but it was really good. If it comes on tele anywhere else I'd highly recommend.
Jesus @jegga you just liked a post from 8 years ago...

Since all the shows I love seem to be on hiatus right now (apart from The Handmaid's Tale) I started watching Peaky Blinders S1. Great cast, and intriguing setup of WW1 hero as crimelord. I did laugh at one bit, where Annabelle Wallis (Grace the barmaid) does this little smile nod. She did the EXACT same thing in The Tudors as Jane Seymour. I also liked the fake execution to fool the Italians.

Finished The Terror.
Was decent enough, although last couple of eps did start to drag a bit.
GIven it is based on a true story of the Ship, The Terror that went missing (ep 1) but after that the rest is largely made up with the odd snippets I guess form log books.
:::
The 'monster' obviously made up, they shoulda just made it a Polar Bear, and showed it less, as the CGI didnt look that great

Handmaids Tale is hard slog!
Is well written and acted, but man it is dreary, am still a couple of eps behind.

I really enjoyed the first season but for whatever reason the 2nd became absolutely dreary as fuck

I don't like it due to it being so wrong. (In terms of the wrong thing to do, not being incorrect)
-
@hooroo I know what you mean, some of the subject matter is mental.
LIke in S1 when the husband is trying to get the Handmaid pregnant and the wife sits there like its her getting it, just so they are all part of the process...creepy and wrong.
For those watching I'll add a spoiler
:::
In the latest ep I watched the main guys Driver/guard guy marries a 15 year old and has to consumate the marriage.
