After reading this, I realize how very often I use the world. I hardly ever use it a demeaning manner, but mostly in joking or teasing of friends. I just realized how modern I am!
I would assume that it has become so socially accepted somewhat because of the articles mention of such a double standard to women. Long ago, it was taboo to show any of your womanly features, and now a days, its expected for them to look desirable, almost slutty. When the norm is to look like a "slut", Id say being called one isnt that disturbing. To an older lady anyway. Younger girls are hurt more by the expression because is a taint to their sexuality, which as the article mentions, as well, is the thing they are highly sensitive of.
