      Is one of those a slur for marginalized, at-risk members of society with special needs?

      I know, “bitch” and “slut” were originally sexist, but were taken back. These days men, women, LGBTQ+, and all races call each other both. There’s no “punching down”, unlike with the antiquated ‘R’ word…

        Women can’t be “punched down” on? News to me…

          Did you read any other words than that, or are you just trying to be argumentative with that strawman?

          I clearly didn’t say that. But contrary to those, using ‘R’ or ‘N’ words is always punching down.

          She said slut referring to herself, and within the context of being a slut for something that isn’t inherently sexual.

          Edit: Nope misread that. Either way there are a lot more contexts where one can use slut and not be shitty.

            True, but I don’t think that’s the case here.

      Yeah cause bitch, shithead and fucking alut are choices people make, it reflects their behavior.

      The other is a slur for disabled people who never chose that.

      Make fun of people’s actions, not what they were born with. Simple stuff.
