If we say that slut is a bad word, we are implicitly saying it is bad for women to want to have sex. If we say that prostitute is a bad word, we are saying that taking money for sex is an insult. Neither is automatically true.

My email was rejected by the Pentagon's email server. Why? Because it contained "Banned Words," the same words uttered by Rush Limbaugh -- on the American Forces Radio & Television Network.

Because you called Sandra Fluke a slut for exercising her right to speak up and demand birth control, you have stripped the word of its traditional, cruel meaning. All women who have ever attempted to decide when and how many children they would have, and with whom, are now sluts.
