UK/New Zealand/Australia folks: Language question! in one day i will organize my books good

I’m gonna go ahead and NOT type this word in a public entry, but here’s my question:

The C word. Is it generally aimed at men? Women? Both genders equally?

Do you feel the insult itself has anything to do with femininity? in the way the word “p*ssy” is meant to imply a man is acting like a woman, does the C-bomb have the same vibe?

I have never asterisked a curse word before in my life, does this mean I’m an adult or that I’m old?

I GUESS I CAN BE BOTH, LOL.

Anyhoo, thank you for your insights!

OH ALSO: If you respond and I don’t know you, can you tell me what country you’re from/in? (Only if you want!) I’m interested to see if there are different connotations in different locations.

THANKS!

I guess I should also say that this is a linguistics question, not a political one! I just think language is super interesting, particularly slang.

Okay that’s enough caveats thank you and goodnight
