I will concede and do some research.
For whatever reason I was under the impression that a word had to reference a specific group to be a slur. Like, anyone can be a slut. Man, woman, trans, black, white, et cetera. Like, who is “slut” targeting? Sexually active people? I know that it is weaponized against women, usually those who are NOT actively engaging in promiscuous activities, but I haven’t exactly come across many slurs that can be used against multiple groups.
Perhaps the root of my understanding of what makes a slur itself is the issue. Like I said I’m going to do some research. As a known slut, I apologize to any who came across my comment and were offended.
