FA he is stating that definitions change, and that is the truth of the matter. While at one time the term whore was meant to describe prostitutes the definition has changed in order to encompass a wider spectrum. Much like the definition of marriage has changed in order to accompany same sex relationships. I think that everyone (and I suspect you did to) picked up on what was being said. The way in which the term was used was not in itself a sexist remark.
If you want to translate it into another area in rap music it is quite common to hear the n-word being used in order to describe black people, and this even occurs in rap music which is produced by whites. While at one time this was a serious insult, now the times have changed, and the definition has changed. No one on the board is sexist because they called a lady a power-whore. Actually I would say the only person that is being sexist would be you through massive double standards in the way in which you treat men in comparison to women. The term whore is by definition not solely applicable to women, and well you seem to think that it is.
I think that you are stuck on the old defintions of the word and can't accept the fact that the word as it currently states is not gender specific, especially in the sense that it was given.
