ORIGINAL: juliaoceania , but you get bent over women being called these names and it angers you? I am sincerely trying to understand here. I'm guessing that's the figurative use of the word "you", as I have no problems with the terms nor their usage in conjunction with women when used in fun and frivolity, not as a slur nor insult, used in the proper context as to a pre-negotiated scene, or between friends. Long ago, I decided to take back words that I quite liked yet society had given negative connotations. Years back I even belonged to a group aptly named "Bitch Dommes" and we were with pride! *g* Words such as cunt and even Mistresss, I decided to reclaim and use when appropriate as I find them glorious actually. Also taking into consideration that many terms have many definitions, hence I reclaim and proclaim as I define! But to each his/her own, I always say! For my personal usage, I attach the following meanings.... whore (hôr, h r) A person considered sexually promiscuous bitch (b ch) A woman considered to be spiteful or overbearing. A lewd woman. A man considered to be weak or contemptible. slut (sl t) A woman considered sexually promiscuous Although I do confess to detest the narrow-minded mentality that such definitions pertain only to a woman! But hey at least they got in man being a bitch at http://www.thefreedictionary.com . *g* I've no problems being called a Bitch when I am asserting my bitchiness. I like the word cunt when referring to female anatomy and yes, I have one. I've even called others than in anger, simply to vent and as it felt good -- why, who knows as I do not find it awful usually. It's all how it's used and with whom. I also have been known to be slutty in some instances, and even back in my youth was quite whorish, upon occassion, when I so felt the want to be! I would be taken aback to be called a slut or a whore at this point in my life, as I am not sexually lewd, promiscious but put Jenna Jameson or Johnny Depp in front of me and mercy, I'll be all slut and whore -- and you call can me that! *g* "...why is it "You go girl!" when a woman calls a man such things.. but it is a crime for a man to call a woman such things?" Possibly the latent struggle for female equal rights keeps the pressure cooker simmering in one aspect as to the "You Go Girls"!! And possibly some men (i.e. some, a few, not all!) utilize the words as sheer slurs and insults thrown in unnegotiated manners to hurt and demoralize while many women use it less in that manner, and as pertaining to BDSM, many (i.e. some, not all) use the words with a bit more consideration and in the context of negotiated scenes with the male's acquiesence. Just some thoughts.....I do not know and I wish it weren't so as I do not condone double standards of any nature. Interesting indeed.
