42. I did NOT make that claim. I simply provided a definition that oddly
was left out of the list of definitions that the other poster provided from Websters. Here's the #1 definition from Merriam-Webster online:

1 : a woman who engages in sexual acts for money : PROSTITUTE; also : a promiscuous or immoral woman

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=whore&x=22&y=11

Although there are alternate definitions such as a male who engages in sexual acts for money and a venal or unscrupulous person everyone knows that the word "whore" is usually used to refer to a woman and to demean her... and anyone who claims otherwise is helping to make women suffer when they use the term against a woman.

"Women suffer enough without that kind of shit." Bullshit.
