Coffee house not to my taste

As an avid lover of coffee I read with interest about First Avenue Coffee house and their commitment to quality coffee and its preparation. I was thinking to visit there soon until I read the accompanying article that mentioned the owner would be hosting female gatherings to “drop F-bombs in order to empower females.”

Sorry, but I always wince when I hear the all-too frequent word, especially from a female. So I won’t be entering the coffee house as the owner said that “people who are really conservative don’t need to come.”

By the way, if the F-word is apparently acceptable to the owner’s establishment, then why is it censored out in the newspapers and not mentioned orally on TV news, etc.?

The vulgarization of America continues. Too bad it will spoil the coffee too.
