Just an interesting fact, one which you may already know: “Pussy” in this context is said to be short for “pussilanimous,” a word meaning (among other things) “lacking courage.” (I learned this part from a very classic episode of The Simpsons!) Supposedly it is not meant to refer to any part of anyone’s anatomy. If accurate, it is a much more apt use of the word.
Fuck I totally forgot about that episode! Maybe we should do away with calling that anatomy “pussy” then. Seems like the femmes have been taking back “cunt”, at least in my circles, so maybe there’s hope there
“Pussy” when used to describe anatomy always kind of seemed rude to me anyway. (I might not be very good at dirty talk.) Personally, I’m fine with whatever word, so long as it is widely recognized and accepted so that communication can be effective. However, I have no justification for trying to be part of the decision making process, as I am not possessed of such an organ, nor am I a medical or linguistic expert.
I don’t discuss the topic often, but I would generally use specific words that I think of as neutral in casual conversations, or words that are meaningful between us if talking to my wife intimately. I probably wouldn’t use “cunt,” with the possible exception of when talking to an Australian.

For your nostalgia and enjoyment:
Should we spell it pusi instead?
It’s okay with me!
