1. Some are better at it than others

I lack an adequate filter between my brain and mouth, but I have been working on it. Still, my non-censored self doesn't use the words at the center of this recent kerfuffle.

I think this whole incident is yet another example of privilege and entitlement. They feel entitled to use words than insult women, LGBT, and people of color. Yet if anyone mentions age, malcontents, or white men, and all hell breaks loose.
