Personally, I've no desire to purge the language, (I was just explaining,
in my last, why I don't care for whorish phrases, and do consider them
sexist.)
That said, I very much share the first doubt and the second sentiment.

And I don't think purging the language will have any effect on the
major social issues for women or anyone else. Nonetheless, it's simply good
manners to be aware of language that, in a given setting, can offend.
Even--maybe especially--if it doesn't seem offensive to, say, me.
