Plain and simple, I put the weight on respectfulness of fellow human beings.

Using such words and terms in certain situations and jocular manners are sophomoric at best. They have their place and context.

But ultimately my sister is one of those "bitches", my mother, my lady friends, are all encompassed by that term. While one may not be directly disparaging someone but such language, it still is offensive to some for whatever reason. Ultimately, while one may feel that someone should just "get over it," conversely, that same one person needs to "get over the fact that these people aren't getting over it."

Obviously speaking a moral line doesn't mean one tows it, ala the recent Catholic priest incidents.
