I hope my vote is counted on the offensive side in SWTX's poll.
I totally agree with the above explanation of why: it equates women with sexual objects as their only worth. If you don't think it is offensive, then try to imagine calling your mother (or grandmother) a "sororstitute" to her face and imagine her reaction.
And I think racial slurs are very comparable because many people who are racial minorities will use the term as slang, but it doesn't make the word less loaded.
I promise to judge every person on this board who uses the term "sororstitute" so don't feel picked on, Phi Gam.
