I don't think there's anything wrong with the word, in a general sense. I think it being attached to women is a thing of the past. I hear it used evenly between the sexes (maybe a British thing?)
I never use it in a derogatory sense, as I don't feel it's derogatory in this day and age. If you want to screw around, good for you, male or female.
I think when you say that men laugh it off when they're called one, that's merely because of the old notion of men sleeping around being "cool", and women sleeping around being "not cool". That's a taboo of society that is finally beginning to die a deserved death. I look forward to the day that men and women alike can be sluts and proud, and also, not be sluts and be proud, whatever floats their boat.
