I love that instead of arguing that women don't do that, you argue that they do and it's OK. Wow. Glad I don't work in an American office.

I didn't argue women do that. I've never encountered a woman who has done that.

People can be made uncomfortable though by vulgar language. It shouldn't be used in an office setting to the point that it's making other people uncomfortable. Read those around you and try to be accommodating. This is basic stuff.
