i do take it personally!
it's a derogatory term.
would it be ok to call one irritating black person a nigger, but then insist the others have no need to feel offended?
no, it would not.
why is misogyny still ok when racism and homophobia are not?
its not ok but in my opinion to compare the word nigger with the word slut is a very bad example to prove your point.
nigger was/is used as a very offensive synonym for the black race in general, that is for every single black person. so if someone calls an irritating black guy a nigger, of course other black men and women may feel offended as well.
not with slut. slut is a cussword usually used for women showing a specific type of behavoiur. we may argue about this "type of behaviour", but fact is that its not used for women in general.
now if Osiris1234 called this girl a slut just because she has one-night stands and you do have one-night stands yourself, then it is 100% legitimate for you to get offended by it.
but being automatically offended by "slut" just because you are a woman doesn't make sense to me.
but i see the guy got banned so the moderators probably agree with you :smile:
