I'm sure if we meet ayu one day we won't say to her hi bit** I love your new song. Is just wrong in my opinion. I know some people will say I don't mean she is a who** you know what I mean. I think is still wrong her name is Ayumi Hamasaki not anything else.

Thank you, nice to see that from time to time there are also other people who are bothered by it. And yes, you're right, she has a name.
And Deli, yes, words change from time to time. But saying that attention whore isn't an insult to women in general is a bit naive. I'm aware that you think so because you personally don't think in a way that is degrading to others. But that still doesn't mean that specific terms have an intuitional meaning people attache to them in their minds. Attention whore is a sexist term and you won't change that by saying you don't mean it that way when you use it. If a woman is called a bitch, slut or whore for whatever reason we all should be aware of the origin of those terms and why people call women that. And whatever intention we may have, by using those terms we're reinforcing stereotypes and are insulting women in general.
I'm sure you won't agree with me on that so I guess we have to agree to disagree.
