And just as a side note regarding this issue of using the word "whore" here. Consider this. Two of the most significant genres of music, hip-hop and rap, are using this term, or "hoe", in many, many songs that play over the radio. I have a LaunchCast station, where I have these genres set to "don't play", but once in a while, I get one, and sure enough, just now, one came over with a "hoe" reference several times.
The lyrics clearly reference the sexually negative version of the word, but no one seems to mind. The genres are wildly popular ("progressive"?) yet there has NEVER been a thread that I can recall on this issue.
But use alternative references to the word in a political thread and you are the scum of the world.
Can you say hypocritical?
