Words are arbitrary. Maybe someday we’ll realize they only have the meaning and power we give them.

It’s just a word. Never be offended by a word. B**** used to bother me. Now it means nothing to me. People take these things too seriously

Stop giving words power….when you allow words to bother you all that means you are weak minded. Words will only effect you if you let them.

We surely are saying it’s that offensive! It’s of a woman. And men use it in the same way white racists use the “N” word.

So entire nations use this word for other reasons….words only have power if you allow them. Being offended is just an emotional response…doesnt mean you are right.

The cultural norms and offense thresholds of UK and USA appear illogical to non-native English speakers like me. Kate says the N-word is more offensive than the C-word. Which wouldn’t be obvious at all to anyone exposed to Western pop culture. *George Carlin* mentions the C-word in his famous _Seven Dirty Words_ monologue. So you know you have to be careful with those. But he doesn’t mention the N-word. In fact, you hear the N-word all the time in rap / hip-hop, movies, and TV shows. You even practice saying “Homies,” “Ma Ni***,” and “Wassup, bit****” with your friends. What’s one to do?!!!
