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.

Well you can think whatever you like is "foolish", but aren't you establishing your own kind of litmus test to this conversation then? Greek women should have more pride than to let "sorostitute" become an accepted part of the terminology used about or among them. And greek men should take more care in the use of it as well. I don't care where it "originated" from, it's a demeaning term and it's meant to refer to greek women as "less than".
