Sooo... saying "whore" is okay, but "white privilege"...
... is just so divisive and mean and oh so wrong?
Not to mention "white tears." Why, that those are just about the worst words anybody could say ever!
I guess, what do I know though?
It's been a long time since I felt I generally understood Democrats, as a party.
Trust me,normal people don`t understand you loons either.

3. No...
"whore" is only okay if you preface it with "white".
Politically correct speech has never done a damned thing to solve societal problems.
If more people would actually spend more time helping fellow "man" (oops,"persons") than worrying about ****ing words, we might actually make a better worl

14. If the worst some whiny children pretending to be grown ups feel is annoyed at the "language police"
then they can shove off.
They've clearly never been or known someone driven into depression, anxiety, or to suicide by the near constant assault of words like fag, homo, sissy, tranny, dyke, fat ass, bitch, ****, whore, or slut.
Sorry, I've found far too many of my friends dead to care what some Orwell and Carlin fanboys think about political correctness, or what **** means in the UK

16. But when some of us point out there is bullying in this place
and it does not use any of the proscribed words, we are laughed at.
This is kind of funny... the irony of this post broke my irony meter.
By the way, I consider the use of those worlds in the context you describe part of the problem of ... gasp I know, BULLYING.
It is not the words themselves, it is what comes with the package.
Idiots,it always is about nads!

19. Of course I do
but I guess now that I understand how bullies work, and why they use the terms they use, those words, have no power any longer.
And I have been bullied, relentlessly here. And not a once anybody has called me any of those words. They have used OTHER tactics that are JUST AS PAINFUL, if you do not understand what they are doing.
It is about nads dammit!!!

20. Truly, that is the key -- words do hurt people who are fragile because of illness, abuse,
or marginalization. That some here can't seem to grasp that is frustrating.
:yawn:

22. and some are unable to understand that
language is the last thing in the mind of actual activists trying to stop the actual marginalization of people And when language takes center stage it is to change the meaning of language and empower yourself by using the language others used to try to hurt you.
Nor are these people concerned with shitty novels, for example.
You are correct, we are all having a problem communicating here. I prefer to stand with actual real living activists, who are far more concerned about empowerment, and I know in person, than people complaining every time a word is used and trying to police others on the internet.

60. You are marginalizing those who are affected by language when you use phrasing like "actual real
living activists." It's not a contest. One may chose to stand with those they perceive are above name calling but that doesn't need to be also a position of diminishing those who understand that words have power and that it's a legitimate facet of the fight against whatever inequality is under discussion.

I could have sworn the nutcase was called a whore at least once. I'm sure stevenumbers would hit that, even with a nominal charge.
Anyway, she has redefined "bullying" to mean any disagreement with what she says, or any laughter at her semi-literate condescension and arrogance.
She is easily the most absurd DUmmy of the bunch, and deserving of a second DUmmy of the Year title.
