    Is one of those a slur for marginalized, at-risk members of society with special needs?

    I know, “bitch” and “slut” were originally sexist, but were taken back. These days men, women, LGBTQ+, and all races call each other both. There’s no “punching down”, unlike with the antiquated ‘R’ word…

      Women can’t be “punched down” on? News to me…

        Did you read any other words than that, or are you just trying to be argumentative with that strawman?

        I clearly didn’t say that. But contrary to those, using ‘R’ or ‘N’ words is always punching down.

          If I misunderstood your post, it wasn’t intentional. Would you mind elaborating?
