It's far from just being female behaviour.
My father has spent years railing against the BBC for 'that scene' in
The Singing Detective.
After I pointed out, in fact, Potter's drama is actually quite puritanical and that he was judging something in isolation, out of context, he mused for a minute – and then blamed the Beeb for not ensuring that a programme on the other BBC channel at the time had not finished just before Patrick Malahide's bum was displayed on the other BBC channel, thus meaning that viewers switching from one channel to the other would glimpse it.
Crassness beyond belief. But there is no logic – thus my own parents seem to consider certain swear words to be massively worse than domestic violence.
