5. I don't think people are confused about that at all.

I think that, just like with the word 'bitch', some just really cannot stand the idea of having their oppressive little toys taken away.

They fight like hell to defend them at every opportunity, so that shows how important it is to them to ensure these oppressive words aren't ever considered as socially unacceptable as using 'gay' or 'retarded' as an insult.

It's very revealing. These discussions, like the discussions of white privilege, show us so very much about the mindsets of some people here.
