Abstract
This paper revisits Freud's famous posthumous essay on "Medusa's Head" in light of a recent "cunt-roversy" at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where a scandal erupted involving the remark made in deposition by the female President of the University (during an allegation against the university) that defended the "c-word" as neither "vile" nor "disgusting." In exploring the reasons behind this "most offensive" word the essay returns to Freud's essay in arguing that the dreaded, decapitated "c-word" replays the drama of the dreaded, decapitated Medusa as a symbol of female sexuality.
