I would never, ever apply the word "slut" to Sandra Fluke nor to any of the women she represents.
It used to be that a reasonably competent slut could get a couple hundred bucks for less than an hour's access to her goods and services. Ms. Fluke apparently speaks for a different category: females who not only can't find a man willing to underwrite their Ortho Tri-Cyclen -- the basic oral contraceptive, available at Wal-Mart at $24 for a 3-month supply--- but can't even get them to put up 35 cents for a rubber.
Such radically devalued young persons do not benefit at all from being called sluts. They fall far short of any reasonable definition of whoredom.
If they are Catholics, they might, however, benefit from excommunication.
That would at least remind them that they are persons created in the imago Dei, and warn them solemnly that their priceless dignity is being eroded by their own choices. It might help them to realize that care of their souls is more important than the price of their Pills.
HBO's Real Time host Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a 'twat'.
I doubt either of us would use that word. But there was no outcry - liberal women were not offended -they joined in the laughter.
On a political level, I find it hard being force to accept Maher's comments - while also being forced, by the Democrat-media complex to condemn Rush's comment.
Can you imagine a scenario whenin you might just call some woman a SLUT?

Sorry.
I should have read your ENTIRE post, before jumping on the first sentence.
