    I don’t think little of whores…

    Says the person who calls prostitutes by a derogatory name. 🙄

                both are slurs. One’s got far more heavy historical context of slavery and oppression, but both are words used to stigmatise and insult a certain group, and they have been reclaimed by various extents by said groups.

                And for the record you casually using the word “whore” is probably more insulting than me comparing two words that are used to oppress groups.

            They already said it’s derogatory. It’s like if somebody called you on idiot. The denotation would be that your intelligence is lacking. The connotation would be that you’re a lesser person for it and cause issues for those around you. In the same way, whore and prostitute have to some denotation but different connotations with the former having the negative connotation. Is that simple enough for you to understand now?

                No, it doesn’t make it ok because somebody else does it or that the blame should be on the party that did it first. That’s an argument a five year old might think is clever; nobody here thinks it is. You have an opportunity to learn here. Will you take it or will you continue to blame others for your poor behavior?

                  It does however highlight how the user and you don’t really care about the use of language and merely use it as an excuse to attack me because I don’t conform to your agenda on prostitution legality.

                    If we’re using your source, you should be for legalizing prostitution in some places such as the USA because it reduces trafficking. Tell me again, which of us has the agenda?
