I must disagree. If someone calls me, as happened not too long ago, a "bull dyke cunt", I would be offended by that, even though I know for a fact that that description is not accurate.
Words have power. That's why we're here discussing things. That's why Shakespeare is considered so much more important a writer than any of dozens of contemporary writers. I think it's a bit short sighted to use language that on it's face is intended to be insulting and then try to shift blame to the offended party for being offended by said usage.
