I Take Offense

"Dear [student],

I take offense to the use of the word 'whores,' especially if you never been one, because the term is very derogatory, and yes, there's a history of stigmatization and discrimination against sex workers. It's not to be thrown around, like how white people don't say 'niggers' or 'fags' anymore, unless they're assholes."
