Back in 2012, Damon joked about being “surrounded” by women.

“I’m learning so much, not the least of which is how much smarter girls are.

I say it in the movie ‘Stuck on You!’

She went to her room and wrote a very long, beautiful treatise on how that word is dangerous.

I said, ‘I retire the f-slur!’

However, fans weren’t quick to praise Damon’s newfound understanding of the slur (viaHuffPost).
