salukigirl,

Roosevelt was right, but it's so frustrating. The young women in this country have such low self esteem to begin with and we have to compound this problem by throwing insults at them. Think about this, how often is this word used correctly (to identify a woman that trades sex for money) and how often is it used as an insult.

It's a double edged sword, by having it bother me so much I give the word its power.
