My point was to say something about the way we RESPOND to words thrown at us as alleged slurs. Take "nigger" a word that is clearly a slur created by white men made to hurt. Or bitch towards women. But when teens are using the word Lesbo- they have no idea where that originated from. They are hearing Lesbo from the streets and simply repeating what they hear; and assuming it is a slur. It doesn't have to be. Like "fag". Gays took back the word. It is no longer hurtful, it means nothing. Dyke is no longer a hurtful slur. (or perhaps it depends on what end of the country one lives on). "Lesbo" is a very adolecsent term. A slur. Insulting but definatly indicatory that someone needs a bit of education....!
