You need to change jobs. A relaxed home office environment is much more informal. Some days I even wear shorts, why? Because I can.
If a man calls somebody or something a '****', then surely it is an indication of his attitude to women?
Works both ways. Only yesterday at Sainsbury's some 'lady' shouted at what I can only assume was her partner sat in the car in front of mine - 'You ****ing useless cock'. Before rattling on his window like a savage.
There's zero misogyny in **** when I say it. In much the same way I call people dick, cock, penis and bellend. My girlfriend says **** regularly. Cue response of 'makes sense when living with you'...
