I'm not going to get really wound up about a term that originated based on a stereotype of a materialist, promiscuous, superficial, anti-intellectual rare subgroup that has now come to be used and laughed AT by the women most likely to be harmed by the stereotype.
I'd prefer that no one use the term absolutely. But it's foolish to establish use of the term as some sort of misogynistic litmus test, especially for those of us who don't have a lot of experience with anyone using the term in real life.
