A LOT. But, as Nona said, only in situations when it's acceptable. I think swearing is seen, not unjustifiably, as trying to act "rough and tough" - something that is considered to be "masculine".

It doesn't suit their imagined image of a "lady" when they hear swearwords passing women's lips. Or it might be seen as a challenge to their masculinity.
