Who knows if that blurb is even authentic. After reading it a second time, I have my doubts.
But I agree with what you're saying, Lena. However, I see (especially with the younger set) a lot of ladies using the word "whore" as a term of empowerment.
I don't particularly feel that way myself. I still find the word to be somewhat offensive but it is what it is. And the etymology can and does change, sometimes dramatically, over a period of time.
