This has more to do with context than words. Why do people laugh at a comedian when they make jokes about fat people, women, cripples, ugly, dumb, & this just a start. Nothing is sacred in this country anymore, & as long as people patronize people who do as a joke it will not get any better.
I went to the beach with family & my daughter had a couple of her friends accompany us. A car with a boom box blaring so loud we couldn't hear ourselves think pulled up a few feet away, & the rap music was only about violence to women & all the thing he would make her do. I stood & was going to make them move on or turn the trash down. I was lucky that the beach patrol beat me & made them leave. The volume alone was an invasion of privacy, & the trash, I couldn't believe people would like such trash.
We all have heard comedians use the F_ word, & as times goes on it's just more & more raunchy. To fit into todays society are we to adapt to the crude, rude, & raunchy? I say if more people quite patronizing & making it profitable it would change. We will never be rid of it all, but it could be better than it is today.
Today if you have an affair with a politician or someone that is famous theres no disgrace. They will paid a million to pose nude & be interviewed. Sure has come a long way from the scarlet letter. Today I would think some mothers are even proud.
Think about what you laugh at & find humorous.
