I also noticed "slut wool" being given as a term for "dust bunnies" To me, being a dick and being a bitch are two completely different behaviours that have very little to do with gender. And they're both just words, neither is really worse than the other.

Neither is that overtly offensive. They describe a behavior (ie: being a jerk) more than anything. Slut is a FAR worse word bordering along the "c" word.

bitches are just cranky. sluts are dirty.
Sometimes I tell my boys they're behaving like bitches - implying that I think they're being cranky women. It usually helps.

I think our equivalent to slut in terms of offensiveness would be 'slag'

We call them sluzza's over here. But sluts and slags as well.
To be honest, I really don't like any of the words. I just think it's another labelling word that inflicts negative feelings, both on the user and the receiver. I feel kind of like I need to wash my mouth out just for thinking the word as I'm typing here. (yes I come from a family of mothers who still wash their kids mouths out with soap. No wonder Aden has such clean teeth)

I don't care for the guy and I've never really listened to his show, but reaction this is getting is just stupid. He called a woman a slut while ranting. Dumb move in my opinion, but so what. He isn't a journalist. It was just as dumb and just as much of a non-issue for me as when Schultz called Laura Ingraham a slut. Whatever. The woman is revelling in her 15 minutes. She went before congress and boo hooed about poor law students not being able to afford contraception. Fuck off. We all have our crosses to bare lady. If between you and your partner you can't afford a condom, then you're too damn stupid to be having sex anyway. and No I do not have a religious opposition to birth control. I have a deeply held dislike for people who believe it's someone else's (meaning you and me) to pay for things they want.

Yeah. Surprise. She wasn't talking about government paying for anything. She wasn't talking about needing it just for preventing pregnancy. She wasn't talking about herself or her sex life. She was saying that letting insurance providers (that is to say, employers, not the insurers) refuse to cover, or try to put up stumbling blocks to obtaining, medically legitimate treatments, for "moral" or political reasons, is unacceptable.

Yeah. But he didn't double down on it for two more days.
I'm not a big fan of Ed, but he's no Rush.

But he did call a woman a slut.
They have that in common. Unfortunately, I do think he tries quite hard at emulating Rush from the left. If you go way back to when he was on Air America, he was totally different.

I get that slut is a bad, bad word here. It just isn't to me. but then, as I said, I don't really have problems with any words. If they're used appropriately, I'm all good.
